Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 26, 2025, as Bangladesh Independence Day in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to issue a proclamation designating March 26, 2025, as Bangladesh Independence Day in New York State, honoring the cultural contributions of Bangladeshi Americans. It specifically recognizes the over 60,000 Bangladeshi residents in New York City who are active in diverse professions, from small business ownership to public service. As a symbolic gesture, the resolution does not create legal obligations but aims to foster community pride and acknowledge Bangladesh's independence history. The adopted resolution will be transmitted to the Governor, the Bangladeshi Consul General, and relevant community organizations.
