26-010 CONCERNING THE CELEBRATION OF LUNAR NEW YEAR 2026.
AI Summary
This joint resolution, concerning the celebration of Lunar New Year 2026, reaffirms Colorado's commitment to recognizing and celebrating Asian Americans and their contributions to the state. It acknowledges that Colorado became the second U.S. state to recognize Lunar New Year as an observed state holiday in 2024, a move spearheaded by Nga Vuong-Sandoval, a Vietnamese refugee and founder of the Lunar New Year Allies Advisory Group. The resolution highlights that Lunar New Year, a holiday with origins in 14th century B.C. China based on the lunar calendar, is a significant celebration for many Asian American communities, typically falling between late January and mid-February, and that Lunar New Year 2026, the Year of the Horse, will be celebrated on February 17th. It emphasizes the importance of Lunar New Year in celebrating Asian American culture, recognizing the diversity of the United States, and countering the marginalization faced by the Asian American community. The resolution encourages Coloradans to attend Lunar New Year events, honors Asian American community members for their entrepreneurialism, innovation, family values, and culture, and acknowledges the global celebration of this holiday by over two billion people. Finally, it directs that copies of the resolution be sent to the Governor, Colorado's Congressional Delegation, and Nga Vuong-Sandoval.
