celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Shirley Chisholm, a transformational leader whose legacy of courage, equity, and advocacy continues to shape the nation

This is a ceremonial Senate resolution (not a bill with policy changes) commending the Shirley Chisholm Democratic Club for hosting its 3rd Annual Catalyst Awards. The resolution formally recognizes the club's celebration of the 100th anniversary of Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm's birth - honoring her legacy as the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first woman and Black candidate for a major party's presidential nomination. It has no legal effect or impact on laws, taxes, or regulations; it simply expresses the legislative body's appreciation through a formal written commendation. The resolution was adopted on February 4, 2025, and a copy was sent to the club.
