Recognizing the significance of "Chicano/Chicana Heritage Month" in August as an important time to celebrate the significant contributions of Mexican Americans to the history of the United States.

H. Res. 640 is a non-binding House resolution introduced by Mr. Correa that designates August as “Chicano/Chicana Heritage Month” and urges recognition and observation of the contributions of Mexican Americans to U.S. history. The resolution frames Chicano/Chicana heritage as a source of empowerment, highlights historical civil rights milestones, notable individuals, and cultural achievements, and calls for appropriate events and activities to observe the month. While it does not create new policy or funding, it aims to elevate awareness, pride, and education about Mexican American history and ongoing contributions.
