Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S7855; text: CR S7852)
This Senate resolution formally supports Red Ribbon Week, a national drug prevention awareness campaign held October 23-31, 2025. The resolution encourages Americans to wear red ribbons, participate in drug prevention activities, and promote drug-free communities during this week-long observance. Red Ribbon Week honors the memory of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who was murdered in 1985 while fighting drug trafficking, and has been the longest-running drug prevention program in the United States since 1988. The resolution highlights the ongoing drug crisis, noting that over 80,000 Americans died from overdoses in 2024, with synthetic opioids like fentanyl being particularly deadly. As a non-binding resolution, it requires no funding and simply expresses the Senate's support for drug prevention efforts and encourages public participation in awareness activities.
