Expressing support for the designation of May 4, 2026, as a "National Day of Reason" and recognizing the central importance of reason in the betterment of humanity.

Reason is the central theme of this resolution. The bill would support designating May 4, 2026 as a National Day of Reason and recognize reason and free inquiry as drivers of scientific, medical, technological, and social progress since before the nation’s founding. It would highlight reason’s role in defending the rule of law, the separation of church and state, civil liberties, and in countering disinformation, authoritarian impulses, and the challenges of climate change. It would encourage all people in the United States to observe the day and promote critical thought.
