That the House of Representatives—
condemns unfounded reliance on Stand Your Ground laws to protect actions that extend far beyond historical use of self-defense;
urges any State legislature to reject or repeal Stand Your Ground legislation;
commits to developing incentives for States to find alternatives to Stand Your Ground legislation such as grants for community policing;
encourages States to create penalties for individuals found to have caused substantive harm through racial profiling; and
urges the United States Commission on Civil Rights to seek to elevate the social status of Black men and boys by undertaking studies to understand and correct the underlying causes of higher rates of school expulsions and suspensions, homicides, incarceration, poverty, violence, drug abuse, as well as income, health, and educational disparities among Black males.
