2025 House Resolution 96

A resolution to declare May 5–11, 2025, as Mother’s Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Mothers across Michigan and the nation have long served as the heart of families, providing love, guidance, and strength that shape individuals and communities alike; and

Whereas, In 2025, we recognize not only the timeless roles of mothers as caregivers and nurturers but also their growing leadership in the workforce, education, public service, and community activism; and

Whereas, Mothers continue to face and overcome modern challenges, balancing professional careers, family care, and civic responsibilities while navigating social and economic pressures; and

Whereas, The resilience, innovation, and compassion of mothers have contributed significantly to Michigan’s recovery and growth in recent years, especially through difficult times; and

Whereas, It is both fitting and necessary to set aside time to celebrate and honor the immeasurable contributions and sacrifices made by mothers in every corner of our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 5–11, 2025, as Mother’s Week in the state of Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That we encourage all Michiganders to honor and celebrate the mothers in their lives, recognizing their vital role in building strong families, communities, and a vibrant future for our state.
