A resolution supporting the goals and ideals of Red Ribbon Week during the period of October 23 through October 31, 2025.

This resolution expresses the Senate's support for the goals and ideals of Red Ribbon Week , observed annually from October 23 through October 31, specifically for the year 2025. The Red Ribbon Campaign, initiated in 1988, educates the public on drug prevention and commemorates DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who was murdered in the line of duty. As the longest-running drug use prevention program in the United States, its objective is to foster drug-free communities through education, parental involvement, and broad community engagement. The Senate encourages all Americans to participate by wearing red ribbons, lighting up buildings, and choosing drug-free lives to promote healthy lifestyles and engage in prevention activities. This support is critical given the national drug crisis, where drug overdoses are the leading cause of death for individuals aged 18 to 45, and synthetic opioids like fentanyl continue to devastate communities. The resolution underscores the importance of reducing demand for illicit substances to combat addictions, overdoses, and associated violence.
