Proclamation 10675 of November 17, 2023
National Family Week, 2023
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
My father always said that family is the beginning, the
middle, and the end. Family is everything. During
National Family Week, we celebrate the love, support,
and resilience of the tens of millions of American
families that make our Nation strong and keep the
American Dream alive.
For too long, too many families in this country have
lived with the prospect of an uncertain future. Too
many parents have lain awake at night staring at the
ceiling, wondering how they will make rent, send their
kids to college, retire, or pay for medication. Too
many have had to move far away from their hometowns to
earn a living. I ran for President to change all that--
to finally rebuild a strong middle class and grow our
economy from the middle out and bottom up, giving
hardworking families across the country a little more
breathing room.
The historic legislation that we have since enacted is
delivering, investing in American families and in
America's future. The American Rescue Plan kept
millions of families in their homes, food on the table,
and folks on the job through the pandemic. Thanks to
the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, over 40,000 projects
are currently underway to rebuild our Nation's roads,
bridges, and ports, expand access to clean drinking
water, and connect every home to high-speed internet.
We are also working to revitalize American
manufacturing--we have helped create nearly 800,000
manufacturing jobs, and through the CHIPS and Science
Act, we are making historic investments across the
country. The Inflation Reduction Act has made health
care coverage cheaper for nearly 15 million Americans--
it is set to cap out-of-pocket prescription drug costs
for seniors on Medicare at $2,000 per year, and it has
already slashed their insulin costs to $35 per month
from as much as $400, helping families pay their
monthly bills. Through the PACT Act, we are helping
veterans who were exposed to toxic materials while
serving get the health care and benefits that they and
their families deserve. I am fighting hard to protect
children and families from the scourge of gun
violence--last year, I signed our Nation's most
significant gun safety law in nearly 30 years,
strengthening background checks, increasing the
effective use of red flag laws, and expanding access to
mental health services. I am fighting to ensure that
all families have equal rights and dignity. That is why
I was so proud to sign the Respect for Marriage Act
into law, protecting the right to marriage for same-sex
and interracial couples. I also signed an Executive
Order that calls for the most comprehensive set of
executive actions of any administration in history to
increase high-quality child care, long-term care, and
support for caregivers, ensuring that families have
access to the support they need.
We have more to do to keep building on all of this
progress, to make sure that every family in America has
an equal shot at a better life of dignity and respect.
During National Family Week, we celebrate the
importance of spending time with loved ones, both the
families that we are born into and the families that we
create throughout our lives. Families are an essential
part of the glue that holds our Nation together across
generations, and we will never stop investing in their
dreams.

invite States, communities, and individuals to join

seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-three, and of the Independence of

eighth.
