En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes February 7, 2025 as Wear Red Day, tying it to the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women movement, which began in 2004 to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease in women. The resolution cites statistics on heart disease and stroke among women, including maternal death rates, pregnancy-related health risks, and gaps in emergency care and clinical research. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.
