Assembly Resolution No. 935

BY: M. of A. Levenberg

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 Friday, February 6, 2026, as Wear Red for Women Day
 in the State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim Friday, February 6, 2026, as Wear Red
for Women Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the American
Heart Association's Go Red For Women National Campaign; and

 WHEREAS, Heart disease is the number one killer of women, killing
more women than men with about one in five deaths each year; and

 WHEREAS, Among females 20 years and older, nearly 45% are living
with some form of cardiovascular disease and less than 50% of women
entering pregnancy in the United States have good heart health; and

 WHEREAS, Overall, 10% to 20% of women will have a health issue
during pregnancy, and high blood pressure, preeclampsia and gestational
diabetes during pregnancy greatly increase a woman's risk for developing
cardiovascular disease later in life; and

 WHEREAS, Over half of high blood pressure deaths, otherwise known as
hypertension or the "silent killer," are in women, and out of all women,
57.6% of Black females have hypertension - more than any other race or
ethnicity; and

 WHEREAS, February is designated as American Heart Month, and Friday,
February 6, 2026, is National Wear Red Day in recognition of the
importance of the ongoing fight against heart disease and stroke; and

 WHEREAS, Go Red For Women is the American Heart Association's
national call for women by women, to take charge of their health and
live stronger, healthier lives; Go Red For Women combines style with
substance, and the red dress and the color red are the American Heart
Association's symbols for women and heart disease; the campaign helps
raise donations to fund research to help save lives; and

 WHEREAS, The American Heart Association, the largest voluntary
health organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke,
continues to take a leadership role in educating women about the risks
of this devastating disease; and

 WHEREAS, The American Heart Association launched Go Red For Women,
driving home the message to women that heart disease is their leading
cause of death, a fact most women still do not know; and

 WHEREAS, The Go Red For Women movement empowers women with the
knowledge and tools they need to take charge of their health and urges
women to take action now; and

 WHEREAS, Go Red For Women helps to provide women with information on
healthy eating, exercise, and risk factor reduction, such as smoking

cessation, weight maintenance, blood pressure control and blood
cholesterol management; and

 WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to join the
American Heart Association in encouraging women across New York State to
Go Red For Women so they have the best chance at fighting heart disease,
the number one killer of women, and to make heart health a top priority
so they can live longer, stronger lives; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim Friday, February 6, 2026
as Wear Red For Women Day in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State
