Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 25, 2025, as Bangladeshi Immigrant Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim September 25, 2025, as Bangladeshi Immigrant Day in New York State, recognizing the contributions of Bangladeshi immigrants. It highlights New York's status as home to the largest Bangladeshi community in the U.S., with over 250,000 Bangladeshi-born residents primarily in New York City. The resolution emphasizes the community's cultural presence, including neighborhoods like Jackson Heights and longstanding organizations like the Muktadhara Foundation. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new legal obligations but honors historical ties and ongoing community impact.
