Bill > K01004

This resolution, a formal request from the New York State Legislative Body, urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim February 20, 2026, as the "Day of Social Justice" within the state. This proclamation would align New York with the global observance of World Day of Social Justice, an international initiative that highlights the importance of addressing critical issues like poverty, exclusion, and unemployment. The resolution emphasizes that social justice is a fundamental principle for peaceful societies, achieved by promoting equality, eradicating barriers based on factors like gender, race, or disability, and ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for all individuals. The Legislative Body also intends to send a formal copy of this resolution to the Governor.
