Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution expresses House support for Red Ribbon Week, an annual drug awareness campaign observed from October 23-31 each year. The resolution honors Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, a DEA agent murdered in 1985 while fighting drug trafficking, and recognizes the National Family Partnership's Red Ribbon Campaign as the longest-running drug prevention program in the United States. The resolution highlights the ongoing drug overdose crisis, noting that approximately 70,000 Americans died from drug overdoses in 2025, with synthetic opioids like fentanyl claiming over 38,000 lives that year. The House encourages Americans—including parents, young people, schools, law enforcement, and community organizations—to wear red ribbons, light up buildings and landmarks, and participate in drug prevention activities to demonstrate their commitment to drug-free communities and healthy lifestyles. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or enforcement mechanisms; it simply expresses congressional support for the goals of Red Ribbon Week and urges public participation in drug awareness efforts.
