Mother’s Day Mother’s Day. This measure would recognize May 10, 2026, as the 119th annual Mother’s Day and would urge all Californians to recognize, appreciate, and be grateful for the gifts and good works of mothers on that day. NO

WHEREAS, The first Mother’s Day was held on the second Sunday in May in West Virginia; and

WHEREAS, President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional resolution in making Mother’s Day an officially recognized day; and

WHEREAS, The contributions of mothers past, present, and future deserve to be recognized, not just today, but every day; and

WHEREAS, A mother is one who nurtures her family, her community, her country, and her world; and

WHEREAS, Mother’s Day is an opportunity to become better children and show our gratitude for those women who put the needs of others before their own needs; and

WHEREAS, Each day, mothers provide counsel and serve as an example to their children and pass on the values that impact their legacy for generations; and

WHEREAS, Each day, mothers enrich our lives by providing opportunities to grow physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually; and

WHEREAS, Women are more likely to serve as the primary caregiver for their children, spouse, parents, and others; and

WHEREAS, One in four mothers are raising their children without a spouse or partner; and

WHEREAS, In the United States, more than 24,000,000 women are working mothers; and

WHEREAS, Mother’s Day also recognizes those who are trying to become mothers, those who have lost their mothers, and the people in our lives who have taken on the motherhood role; and

WHEREAS, Mothers play an important role in educating, caring for, and raising the next generation of artists, scientists, and community leaders;

now, therefore,

be it Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly thereof concurring, That the Legislature recognizes May 10, 2026, as the 119th annual Mother’s Day and urges all Californians to recognize, appreciate, and be grateful for the gifts and good works of mothers on that day; and be it further Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
