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.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-second day of November, in the year of our Lord
two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
ninth.
