Assembly Resolution No. 186

BY: M. of A. Jackson

MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
March 12, 2023 as Working Moms Day in the State of
New York

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that mothers who
faithfully serve the needs of the community and its citizens while also
caring for a child with utmost diligence and compassion profoundly
strengthen our shared commitment to family and community life; and

WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 12, 2023 as Working
Moms Day in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of
National Working Moms Day; and

WHEREAS, Working Moms Day, celebrated during Women's History Month,
brings awareness to the women in New York State who work tirelessly as
mothers and devote their lives to benefiting their community; and

WHEREAS, Mothers are both breadwinners and bread makers, and March
12th recognizes these miraculous individuals who serve as educators,
role models, and inspirational fixtures in our children's lives; and

WHEREAS, Working Moms of Milwaukee (WMM) launched National Working
Moms Day in 2020 to celebrate working moms everywhere; the day aims to
create a supportive space where moms can connect both online and
in-person, get support from other mothers, access services to make the
day-to-day a little easier, and celebrate motherhood; and

WHEREAS, Founded in December of 2017 by Susannah Lago, a local mom
who needed support, WMM has expanded nationally, working to help mothers
who work full-time, part-time, inside the home, or outside of the home;
and

WHEREAS, A vital day of recognition, Working Moms Day provides
opportunities for mothers to network with other moms from different
backgrounds, fields, and professions online and in-person, and socialize
in time frames that work for busy families; and

WHEREAS, Community members should be encouraged to celebrate working
moms who provide essential care and support to children in their
communities, while also serving to enhance the quality of New York
State's economy and professional industry; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 12, 2023, as Working
Moms Day in the State of New York; 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; and Working Moms of Milwaukee (WMM).
