A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Red Ribbon Week during the period of October 23 through October 31, 2024.

SRES 873 is a non-binding Senate resolution supporting Red Ribbon Week (October 23-31, 2024), encouraging all Americans to wear red ribbons and light buildings as symbols of commitment to drug-free communities. It urges participation in drug prevention activities and education programs, referencing the National Family Partnership’s long-standing campaign to honor DEA agent Enrique Camarena and address the opioid crisis. The resolution does not create new laws or allocate funding but serves as a symbolic gesture to raise awareness about drug prevention, building on existing initiatives like Lock Your Meds and National Take Back Day. It directly invites public engagement from individuals, schools, organizations, and communities to promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles during the designated week.
