This resolution acknowledges the profound hate and government targeting experienced by Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities following the September 11, 2001, attacks. It details how these communities faced widespread discrimination, violence, and systematic profiling through government policies like surveillance, detention, and deportation, often without due process. The resolution condemns all forms of racism, xenophobia, and bigotry, specifically recognizing the climate of hate and discriminatory government actions post-9/11. It calls for the establishment of an independent commission to thoroughly review these government policies, investigate their impact, and recommend the dismantling of those that continue to unfairly target these communities. Furthermore, the resolution advocates for congressional and civil rights hearings to discuss the commission's findings, centering the experiences of affected communities. It also supports allocating resources to community-based organizations , independent of law enforcement, to provide hate crime prevention, victim support, and culturally accessible alternatives to traditional justice programs. Finally, the resolution urges the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation to collaborate on studying the long-term physical and mental health impacts of hate, government targeting, political rhetoric, and profiling on these vulnerable populations.
