1	1	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 323
2	2	WHEREAS, World Down Syndrome Day is being held at the
3	3	State Capitol on March 21, 2023, with the theme of "With Us Not
4	4	For Us"; and
5	5	WHEREAS, Down syndrome, the most commonly occurring
6	6	chromosomal condition, occurs in individuals who have a full or
7	7	partial extra copy of chromosome 21; one of every 700 babies born
8	8	in the United States each year is born with Down syndrome; and
9	9	WHEREAS, Medical advances have significantly increased the
10	10	life expectancy of people with Down syndrome, which is now
11	11	approaching that of peers without the condition; in addition to
12	12	the advantages of modern medicine, support groups and other
13	13	resources are now available in nearly every community in the
14	14	United States; and
15	15	WHEREAS, When provided with quality education programs, a
16	16	stimulating home environment, good health care, and support from
17	17	family and friends, people with Down syndrome can lead fulfilling
18	18	and productive lives; much progress has been made through the
19	19	vision and hard work of parents, researchers, medical
20	20	professionals, and other advocates, who have helped secure the
21	21	rights of people with Down syndrome to live at home, attend
22	22	schools, access appropriate health care, get married, find work,
23	23	and contribute to society; instead of a charity-based approach,
24	24	this year's theme of "With Us Not For Us" promotes a human
25	25	rights-based approach that emphasizes the right of those with
26	26	disabilities to be treated fairly and have the same opportunities
27	27	available to others; and
28	28	WHEREAS, In 2011, the United Nations General Assembly
29	29	declared March 21 as World Down Syndrome Day; this year, the
30	30	State of Texas is joining with countries around the globe in
31	31	recognition of this special event, and all Texans are
32	32	encouraged to take part by helping to build a culture of
33	33	greater respect and inclusion for those living with Down
34	34	syndrome; now, therefore, be it
35	35	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
36	36	Legislature, hereby recognize March 21, 2023, as World Down
37	37	Syndrome Day at the State Capitol.
