Senate Resolution No. 1966

BY: Senator PARKER

COMMEMORATING Dominican and Dominican American Mother's Day

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and commend those cultural observances which celebrate the strength, resilience, and enduring contributions of mothers whose love and leadership serve as the foundation of families and communities; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commemorate Dominican and Dominican American Mother's Day, observed annually on the last Sunday in May, and in 2026, to be observed on May 31st; and

WHEREAS, Dominican Mother's Day is a cherished cultural tradition in the Dominican Republic and throughout the diaspora, honoring mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures whose guidance, sacrifice, and devotion shape generations and strengthen the social fabric of their communities; and

WHEREAS, The Dominican and Dominican-American community represents a vibrant and integral part of the State of New York, particularly within New York City, contributing richly to the cultural, economic, and civic life of our State; and

WHEREAS, Dominican and Dominican-American mothers have played a vital role in nurturing families, preserving cultural heritage, and instilling values of perseverance, faith, and unity while often serving as pillars of strength within their households and communities; and

WHEREAS, This observance provides an opportunity to reflect upon and celebrate the immeasurable contributions of these women whose daily acts of love, resilience, and leadership uplift not only their families but also society as a whole; and

WHEREAS, It is fitting and proper that this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to honor Dominican and Dominican-American mothers for their enduring impact and to recognize the significance of this meaningful cultural celebration; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to commemorate Dominican and Dominican American Mother's Day, observed annually on the last Sunday in May, and to extend heartfelt appreciation to all mothers whose strength, compassion, and dedication continue to inspire and uplift generations; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be transmitted to representatives of the Dominican and Dominican-American community as a token of the esteem in which they are held.
