The bill designates February 16, 2026, as "National Elizabeth Peratrovich Day" to honor Elizabeth Peratrovich, a Tlingit woman who fought for social equality and civil liberties for Alaska Natives and Native Americans. Elizabeth, born in 1911, dedicated her life to advocating for anti-discrimination laws, including testifying before the Alaska Territorial legislature for the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945. The resolution calls on the people of the United States to observe this day by remembering her work and continuing the fight for equality.
