Assembly Resolution No. 759

BY: M. of A. Gonzalez-Rojas

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 June 17, 2025, as Latina History Day in the State of
 New York

 WHEREAS, New York State is home to nearly four million Latinos, and
Latinas are increasingly becoming a driving force behind the community;
and

 WHEREAS, Latinas have roots in various cultures and regions of the
world, including South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and
across the globe; they play a critical role in our society; and

 WHEREAS, Latinas in New York State are of all ages and walks of
life, including students, teachers, labor leaders, entrepreneurs,
community leaders, and elected officials; this Legislative Body takes
this opportunity to honor the contributions that Latina women have made
to our State's history; and

 WHEREAS, Latinas still experience employment and wage
discrimination, healthcare disparities, and inequities in the education
system; and

 WHEREAS, Latinas are fighting for a world with political and
economic parity through leadership, education, and advocacy; and

 WHEREAS, Latinas are breaking glass ceilings and pioneering in areas
their mothers and grandmothers would dream for them; and

 WHEREAS, Latinas are increasingly becoming more politically engaged,
contributing to rising rates in voter turnout; additionally, they are
elected to public office and appointed to powerful positions; and

 WHEREAS, Latinas in New York State stand on the shoulders of giants
like Sylvia Rivera, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor,
Representative Nydia Velazquez, Jennifer Lopez, and many more; and

 WHEREAS, Latina History Day presents an opportunity to commemorate
the historic and current achievements of Latinas; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body justly celebrate contemporary
Latinas who continue to build upon the foundation of their ancestors for
the betterment of future generations; and be it further

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