Designates February 16, 2026, as "National Elizabeth Peratrovich Day" to honor her civil rights advocacy.
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.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
