Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia Senate resolution recognizes May 2, 2026 as Stilettos on Steel Day and International Female Ride Day at the state Capitol, honoring the Newnan chapter of a female motorcyclist organization. ### Plain-language summary This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes May 2, 2026 as Stilettos on Steel Day and International Female Ride Day at the Georgia State Capitol. The resolution describes Stilettos on Steel, a national organization for female motorcyclists, and its Newnan, Georgia chapter, which was founded in July 2023 and has 44 members. It notes the chapter's community work, including support for local charities and police programs, and highlights the chapter's planned all-female motorcycle ride through Coweta, Troup, and Meriwether counties on May 2, 2026, escorted by law enforcement, with proceeds going to the Coweta County Sheriff's Department's bicycle build-off program for teenage girls.
