Whereas more than 15,000,000 households move annually for career relocation, educational pursuits, and other personal reasons; Whereas more than 1 in 10 households move annually; Whereas moving and storage companies range from small, family-run operations to global corporations transporting the United States most valuable and sentimental possessions with care; Whereas moving and storage companies come in many different forms, from national van lines and their network of agents to independent movers operating at the national, regional, and local levels; Whereas moving and storage companies invest in more than just trucks, they rely on a skilled workforce, procure and deploy packing materials, maintain and secure warehouse space, and use state-of-the-art technology and logistics systems and a fleet of trucks and vans; Whereas the moving and storage industry relies on drivers, packers, estimators, warehouse managers, fleet maintenance, a sales team, marketers, software engineers, insurance, and additional third-party specialists; Whereas, in 2024, there were nearly 8,000 interstate household goods carriers in the United States, employing 200,000 men and women, with payrolls totaling more than $13,000,000,000 annually; Whereas the moving and storage industry executes the relocation of residential homes, offices, and industrial and institutional facilities, and provides essential relocation services to Government agencies; Whereas the moving and storage industry plays a vital role in national defense and global mobility through its support of the United States Armed Forces, coordinating and executing close to 300,000 military household goods shipments each year through the Defense Personal Property Program of the Department of Defense; Whereas more than 70 percent of United States citizens move between the period of May to September, as families aim to finish and begin the school year with minimal disruption; and Whereas the purpose of Moving Month is to— (1) raise public awareness about the invaluable contributions of moving and storage companies who represent an irreplaceable supply chain created through generations of movers’ investment in buildings, people, and equipment; and (2) promote respect and understanding of the essential work that moving and storage companies do to carefully and safely transport our essential household goods from one home to another: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) thanks the moving and storage industry of the United States; and (2) promotes the professional services of moving and storage companies by encouraging the public to recognize Moving Month .
IV 119th CONGRESS 1st Session H. RES. 429 IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES May 19, 2025 Mr. Thompson of California (for himself, Mr. Kiley of California , and Mr. McGarvey ) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce RESOLUTION Expressing support for the designation of May 17, 2025, as Necrotizing Enterocolitis Awareness Day .

Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common cause of death in hospitalized premature infants after two weeks of age; Whereas babies born prematurely or with a medical complication, like congenital heart disease, are most at risk of NEC; Whereas thousands of babies develop NEC each year and hundreds of babies die from this complex condition; Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis causes a severe inflammatory process that can lead to intestinal tissue damage and death and, once NEC is diagnosed, many babies only live for a few hours or days; Whereas surgery for NEC is not curative, and the babies who survive often have lifelong neurological and nutritional complications; Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis results in approximately $5,000,000,000 of hospitalization expenses per year and roughly 19 percent of neonatal health care expenditures in the United States, with an estimated cost of $200,000 or more for each case of surgical necrotizing enterocolitis; Whereas breast milk is one of the most effective ways to help prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in medically fragile infants, and when the mother’s milk is unavailable, pasteurized donor human milk is the next-safest option for babies at risk of NEC; Whereas formula does not protect against the risk of NEC in medically fragile infants, and infants at risk of NEC receive the most protection from their mother’s own milk and pasteurized donor milk; Whereas, although the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis cannot be fully eliminated and there are not yet sure ways to stop or cure NEC, preventative measures are effective at reducing risks; Whereas parents must be trusted and valued as the most important member of their baby’s care team, and health care providers should partner with families to provide the best care for infants at risk of NEC; Whereas necrotizing enterocolitis can develop in both premature babies and babies born at term, and more data are desperately needed to better understand how and why NEC occurs in preterm and term infants; Whereas disparities and variation in care lead to Black infants being disproportionately affected by, and dying from, necrotizing enterocolitis compared to White infants; and Whereas to build a world without necrotizing enterocolitis and improve outcomes for infants and families, we must bring Americans together to raise awareness about this devastating neonatal disease: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) recognizes the importance of raising awareness about necrotizing enterocolitis; and (2) expresses support for the designation of Necrotizing Enterocolitis Awareness Day .

Whereas antisemitism is a centuries-old form of hatred and discrimination that has led to immeasurable suffering, persecution, and loss of life, culminating most horrifically in the Holocaust, and continues to manifest in violence, vandalism, and policies targeting Jewish communities around the world; Whereas recent years have seen a rise in antisemitic incidents in the United States, including attacks on synagogues, Jewish schools, museums, cultural centers, and individuals identified or perceived as Jewish; Whereas the tragic and senseless murders of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim are a stark reminder of the dangers posed by rising antisemitism and terrorism targeting the Jewish community; Whereas Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were attending a panel discussion to promote peace and resolve conflict when their lives were tragically taken; Whereas Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were both employees of the Israeli Embassy in the United States where they advocated for peace, education, and dialogue, and were both committed to standing against hatred and violence; and Whereas the murderer is a far-left activist and has been affiliated with the Party for Socialism and Liberation: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research was established in 1925 in Vilna, Poland (now Vilnius, Lithuania), as the world’s first comprehensive center devoted to the study, preservation, and dissemination of East European Jewish history, culture, and language; Whereas YIVO is the only prewar Eastern European Jewish archive and library to survive the Holocaust, relocating to New York City in 1940; Whereas, over its century-long history, YIVO has amassed over 24 million items, including the largest repository of primary Holocaust materials globally, surpassed only by Yad Vashem in Israel, and its library encompasses 400,000 volumes in multiple European languages and features the world’s largest collection of Yiddish-language books, pamphlets, and newspapers; Whereas YIVO provides a home for millions of documents and artifacts related to the history of Jews in the United States, and among these are thousands of photographs, newspapers, and magazines, and other ephemera that document the voyages of Jewish immigrants and the lives they made throughout the country; Whereas YIVO has become a leading institution in the United States for research on Jewish history, Holocaust studies, and Yiddish language and literature, contributing significantly to academic scholarship and cultural preservation; Whereas YIVO’s digitization initiatives, such as the Edward Blank YIVO Vilna Online Collections Project, have made accessible millions of documents and artifacts related to Jewish history, including Holocaust materials, through digital platforms that serve educators, scholars, and learners across the globe; and Whereas the centennial anniversary of YIVO presents an opportunity to recognize its extraordinary contributions to the preservation of Jewish history and culture, and to reaffirm the United States commitment to supporting institutions that promote cultural diversity, historical scholarship, and intercultural dialogue: Now, therefore, be it

Whereas poppies are worn and displayed as a symbolic tribute to fallen and future veterans and members of the Armed Forces; Whereas the use of the poppy symbolically comes from the poem In Flanders Fields , which movingly begins, In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row , referring to the poppies that sprang up in the battlefields and newly dug soldiers’ graves in parts of Belgium and France during World War I; Whereas John McCrae’s poem inspired Moina Belle Michael of Athens, Georgia, to write her own poem entitled We Shall Keep the Faith , in which she promised to wear a red poppy to memorialize American soldiers killed in World War I; Whereas the American Legion family and the Veterans of Foreign Wars adopted the poppy as a symbol of freedom and the blood shed by those who have served in the United States Armed Forces; Whereas the red poppy has been worn in the United States for more than 80 years as a way to remember those individuals who died fighting for freedom and democracy around the world and to raise money to help disabled veterans; Whereas the poppy is worn throughout the world to commemorate members of the Armed Forces who have died in the line of duty, as part of Remembrance Day, Armistice Day, or Poppy Day ceremonies; Whereas, as the United States commemorates yearly the lives of Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives on Memorial Day, it is fitting to attach the symbolic meaning of the poppy and formally recognize its historic symbolism; Whereas wearing a poppy can unite citizens from across the country who wish to show their patriotism and appreciation for those who serve as members of the United States Armed Forces; and Whereas the Friday before each Memorial Day is an appropriate day to recognize as National Poppy Day : Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports the goals and ideals of National Poppy Day ; (2) honors past and current members of the Armed Forces of the United States and their families; and (3) encourages all citizens, residents, and visitors of the United States to join in observing National Poppy Day by wearing a red poppy the Friday before Memorial Day as a sign of admiration and thanks to those individuals who died to preserve freedom.

Whereas independent workers can be defined as workers who are self-employed, independent contractors, sole proprietors, or nonpermanent workers who are hired on a per-project basis; Whereas independent workers can include, but are not limited to, musicians, lawyers, drivers, couriers, computer programmers, writers, and other entrepreneurs; Whereas embracing independent work offers workers great freedom and flexibility in their hours, locations, and occupations; Whereas technological innovation has enabled more Americans than ever to pursue flexible, independent work, including through app-based platforms; Whereas 61 percent of independent workers report their earnings are equal or more than with a more traditional work environment; Whereas in 2024, 4,700,000 full-time independent workers earned over $100,000; Whereas the flexible work economy offers business owners advantages, such as the ability to hire experts for services not regularly needed or extra workers for busy seasons and lower space costs; Whereas in 2024, roughly 73,000,000 Americans engaged in some type of freelance work, which is an increase of nearly 1,000,000 independent workers from 2023; Whereas independent workers contributed $1.5 trillion to the United States economy in 2024; Whereas the number of independent workers has grown exponentially in recent years, with approximately 28,000,000 Americans’ primary income deriving from the independent work economy; Whereas according to data from 2024, 52 percent of those aged 18 to 26 and nearly 40 percent of those aged 27 to 42 chose the flexible work economy over traditional employment; Whereas by 2027, an estimated 86,000,000 Americans are projected to participate in the flexible work economy; Whereas some elected officials and communities have taken actions to end the independent work economy by supporting legislation that would require freelance workers to register as traditional employees, removing their freedom and flexibility to work where, when, and how they want; and Whereas legislation forcing independent workers to classify as employees could supersede State laws such as Prop 22 in California, which overturned worker classification laws and strengthened contractor freedom: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) recognizes the rising importance of independent workers, app-based earners, freelancers, and other independent contractors to the American economy; and (2) recognizes the benefits of independent work to entrepreneurs and individuals seeking flexible hours, locations, and occupations and the benefit of additional income-earning potential.
