This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' strong support for designating November 20 through December 20, 2025, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month." The designation aims to acknowledge the profound impact of homicide on families and communities, recognizing it as a significant public health crisis, particularly concerning gun violence. The resolution supports efforts to raise awareness of homicide survivors, provide them with crucial support services and information, and encourage vital research. This research should focus on better addressing the needs of families impacted by violence, improving access to behavioral health services for survivors, and increasing the national homicide clearance rate, which currently remains low. Furthermore, the resolution calls upon the people of the United States, interest groups, and affected persons to actively promote awareness and engage in the fight to end gun violence and homicide. It emphasizes responding to suffering families with consistency, compassion, and competence, while observing the awareness month with appropriate activities that center principles of love, unity, and justice.
