                Proclamation 10864 of November 22, 2024

                
National Family Week, 2024

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                My Dad taught me that family is the beginning, the 
                middle, and the end. It is everything. During National 
                Family Week, we celebrate the love shared by millions 
                of American families, and we recommit to uplifting 
                them, so that more families can build their American 
                Dream together.

                Since I came into office, I have been determined to 
                give hardworking families a little more breathing room 
                and a fair shot at achieving their dreams. That work 
                began with building an economy that would strengthen 
                our middle class. My American Rescue Plan kept millions 
                of families afloat during the pandemic, ensuring they 
                could stay in their homes and put food on their tables. 
                It also delivered the largest-ever Child Tax Credit, 
                which helped tens of millions of working families with 
                the costs of raising children and cut child poverty 
                nearly in half. My Bipartisan Infrastructure Law 
                created jobs rebuilding our Nation's infrastructure--
                from strengthening our roads, bridges, and ports to 
                removing lead pipes from our homes and expanding access 
                to high-speed internet. My CHIPS and Science Act is 
                revitalizing American manufacturing, and, throughout my 
                Administration, we have created over 1.6 million 
                manufacturing and construction jobs. And my Inflation 
                Reduction Act made healthcare more affordable for 
                families, saving millions of them an average of $800 
                per year on their health insurance premiums. It will 
                also cap the cost of out-of-pocket prescription drug 
                costs at $2,000 per year for seniors on Medicare, 
                easing their cost of care. And through my PACT Act, we 
                are helping veterans exposed to toxic materials get the 
                benefits they and their families deserve. And today, 
                incomes are up almost $4,000, after adjusting for 
                inflation, ensuring families have the breathing room 
                they deserve.

                My Administration has also been working to ensure 
                families have the support they need to thrive while 
                keeping them safe. I signed the Respect for Marriage 
                Act, protecting the right to marriage for same-sex and 
                interracial couples. I signed an Executive Order that 
                directed the most comprehensive actions of any 
                administration in history to make high-quality child 
                care and long-term care more accessible and support 
                caregivers. I took a slate of historic actions to 
                prevent children from being placed into foster care and 
                separated from their families without adequate 
                justification. And I signed the most comprehensive gun 
                reform bill in nearly three decades to end the scourge 
                of gun violence ripping apart our families and deliver 
                historic funding to address the youth mental health 
                crisis.

                During National Family Week, may we hold our loved ones 
                close, both the family that have been there since the 
                beginning and the family we have made along the way. 
                And may we continue to fight for families--the heart 
                and soul of our Nation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, by virtue of the 
                authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws 
                of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 24 
                through November 30, 2024, as National Family Week. I 
                invite States, communities, and individuals to join 
                together in observing this week with appropriate 
                ceremonies and activities to honor our Nation's 
                families.
