African Diaspora Council Act

# African Diaspora Council Act (HR 784) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** The African Diaspora Council Act would establish a formal council focused on strengthening relationships and cooperation between the United States and countries in Africa, as well as supporting African diaspora communities (people of African descent living outside Africa). While specific details aren't provided in the basic bill information, such councils typically work to facilitate dialogue, coordinate policy initiatives, and address shared interests between regions. **Who It Affects:** This bill would primarily affect U.S. foreign policy toward Africa, African American and immigrant communities from African nations, and U.S. diplomatic and development agencies involved in African relations.

It could influence trade, cultural exchange, immigration, and development programs. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (HR 784, 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full House vote. It was sponsored by Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA). At this stage, the bill would need committee approval and broader congressional support to move forward for consideration by the full House. *For more detailed information on specific provisions, you may want to consult Congress.gov or the bill's full text.*.
