Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 6, 2025, as Gun Violence Awareness Day in the State of New York

This Senate resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially proclaim June 6, 2025, as Gun Violence Awareness Day in New York State, aligning with National Gun Violence Awareness Day. It is a symbolic gesture without legal effect, urging the Governor to recognize the issue through the "Wear Orange" movement. The resolution references the movement's origin in Chicago following Hadiya Pendleton's 2013 death and its national reach. It does not create new laws or policies but seeks to increase public awareness of gun violence prevention.
