Bill > K00728

This resolution seeks to memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim November 1, 2025, as Vegan Day in New York State, aligning with World Vegan Day, an annual event first established in 1994 by Louise Wallis of The Vegan Society. The resolution highlights the growing trend of plant-based eating, noting that two in three Americans have reduced meat consumption, and emphasizes the potential health, animal welfare, and environmental benefits of a vegan lifestyle. By recognizing this day, the legislative body aims to bring attention to veganism, support the vegan community, and acknowledge the increasing popularity of vegan food alternatives. The resolution also directs that copies of the official document be transmitted to Governor Hochul and The Vegan Society, symbolizing formal recognition of the occasion and the vegan movement's significance.
