This resolution would designate Thanksgiving week — November 19 through November 25, 2017 — as “National Family Week”. It would also encourage state and local governments to designate the week as National Family Week, and encourage the American people to observe it with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Each year since it was first proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, the week of Thanksgiving has been designated as National Family Week -- President Donald Trump made the declaration on November 17.

As a simple resolution, this legislation wouldn’t advance to the House if passed or become law.
