SUMMARY: Proclaims the period of October 23 to 31, 2025, inclusive, and October 23 to 31,

legislative findings:
1) Community Alliances for Drug-Free Youth, Inc. (CADFY), a statewide nonprofit

Department of Education, the California State Parent Teacher Association, and over 100
other statewide agencies, departments, and organizations have been strong advocates for Red
Ribbon Week.

Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique “Kiki” S. Camarena was killed in Mexico
by drug traffickers in 1985.
3) Securing a safe and healthy future for our children is directly threatened by drug abuse, and
awareness of this problem will help individuals in fighting drug abuse.

education, parental involvement, and communitywide support.
