Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim Friday, February 7, 2025, as Wear Red for Women Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially recognize Friday, February 7, 2025, as "Wear Red for Women Day" in New York State. It aligns with the American Heart Association's "Go Red For Women" campaign, which aims to raise awareness about heart disease - the leading cause of death among women. The resolution cites statistics showing heart disease kills more women than men annually and highlights health disparities, such as higher hypertension rates among Black women. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or programs but encourages state-wide recognition of the campaign's health awareness goals.
