Recognizes August 2025 as Karen American Heritage Month.
The bill recognizes August 2025 as Karen American Heritage Month. It highlights the Karen people, an ethnolinguistic group from Myanmar, who have faced oppression and displacement. Many Karen people have fled to refugee camps along the Thai/Burma border, with some in the camps for over two decades. The Karen Organization of America, formed by the merger of two organizations in 2018, supports Karen refugees in the U.S. The bill also notes the Karen people's cultural traditions, including their New Year and Wrist Tying holiday.
