Rep. Sara Cambensy, from the 109th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“‘When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much. Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money. That’s a very limited life. Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it… Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.’

-Steve Jobs.”

House Resolution No. 43.

A resolution to declare March 2021 as Reading Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Reading helps kids discover their own voices; and

Whereas, Reading opens minds to creativity, adventure, and opportunity; and

Whereas, The members of the House of Representatives are dedicated to providing a quality education to all children in Michigan; and

Whereas, The residents of Michigan believe that reading is fundamental to children’s development and education. Literacy empowers parents to read to their children in their role as their children’s first teacher; and

Whereas, Reading is essential to everyday life inside and outside of the classroom. Reading opens doors and allows children to explore the entire world and beyond. Reading is also a cornerstone to build productive contributing citizens capable of reaching their potential; and

Whereas, We recognize and promote the importance of community and parental involvement in every child’s success in school; and

Whereas, The House of Representatives is committed to helping Michigan’s children be successful throughout their academics; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the legislative body declare March 2021 as Reading Month in the state of Michigan.

House Resolution No. 44.

A resolution to memorialize the federal government to continue to stand with the Burmese people against the military coup in Burma.

Whereas, On February 1, 2021, the military of Burma carried out a coup against the nation’s government. Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically elected civilian leader, was placed under house arrest and charged with violating an obscure importation law. Other prominent members of the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party were also detained; and

Whereas, In the days since the coup, the military has limited basic rights and used violence against protestors. A national curfew has been imposed and gatherings of more than five people have been outlawed. Police have fired into crowds with live ammunition and at least one protestor has been critically wounded; and

Whereas, Despite threats to their health and safety, the Burmese people have stood against this assault on their democracy. Protests have continued to grow and symbols of resistance have become ubiquitous throughout the country; and

Whereas, The U.S. government has taken important steps to oppose the military takeover in Burma. The State Department has officially declared the takeover a coup d’état. President Joe Biden recently imposed sanctions on the generals responsible for the coup; and

Whereas, Continued solidarity of the United States with the Burmese people will be crucial in returning democracy to Burma. As the leader of the free world, it is the duty of America to use its power and influence to advocate for an end to military rule; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the federal government to continue to stand with the Burmese people against the military coup in Burma; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

House Resolution No. 45.

A resolution to declare March 2021 as National Social Work Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The social work profession for decades has been dedicated to improving human well-being and enhancing the basic needs of all people, especially the most vulnerable among us; and

Whereas, This year’s Social Work Month theme, “Social Workers Are Essential,” embodies the heroic contributions of the social work profession to our nation, including the work social workers have done to heal our nation during these times of pandemic, racial unrest, economic uncertainty, and political divisiveness; and

Whereas, Social workers have always been present in times of crisis, helping people overcome issues such as death and grief and helping people and communities recover from natural disasters such as fires, hurricanes and earthquakes; and

Whereas, Social workers have helped this nation live up to its values by successfully advocating for equal rights for all people; and

Whereas, School social workers have worked with families and schools throughout the pandemic to ensure students reach their full academic and personal potential; and

Whereas, Social workers work in all parts of our society to empower people to live to their fullest potential; and

Whereas, Social workers play a crucial role in our nation’s health care system and have played a key role in this nation’s response to COVID-19 and helping individuals, families, and communities cope with the epidemic; and

Whereas, Social workers are one of the largest groups of mental health care providers in the United States and work daily to help people, whether in person or remotely, overcome substance use disorders and mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety; and

Whereas, The social work profession is one of the fastest growing professions in the United States, with nearly 800,000 people expected to be employed as social workers by 2029; and

Whereas, Social workers will continue to stand ready to assist our nation in overcoming present and future challenges; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 2021 as National Social Work Month in the state of Michigan.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
