This House resolution expresses support for naming September 2026 as "Peace Month" and calls on Congress to promote peace both at home and abroad. The resolution cites the United Nations' International Day of Peace (September 21), the UN call for a 24-hour global ceasefire on Peace Day, the Peace Day theme "Invest in Peace - For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day," and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It says global peace efforts improve lives and that September is an appropriate month for the designation.
If adopted by the House, the resolution would formally record the Chamber's support for designating September 2026 as "Peace Month" and urge Congress to take action to promote peace. The text does not list specific programs, new laws, or funding in support of that call.
