The resolution from the 136th General Assembly of Ohio, introduced by Senators Weinstein and Lang, supports the United States of Kindness initiative, which aims to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday by encouraging individuals to perform 250 acts of kindness. The initiative, established by the Values-in-Action Foundation through the Kindland program, seeks to foster community engagement and positivity across Ohio and the nation. It highlights the benefits of kindness, including improved mental health, enhanced learning, and reduced violence, and emphasizes Ohio's historical commitment to kindness through various social movements.

The resolution calls on members of the Ohio General Assembly to participate in this initiative by committing to one act of kindness each day from April 25th to December 31st, coinciding with the 250 days leading up to the nation's anniversary. By doing so, the Senate aims to inspire a collective effort to promote kindness and unity, reinforcing Ohio's role as a leader in this national movement. The resolution also directs the Clerk of the Senate to share copies with Ohio's news media to raise awareness and encourage broader participation.
