Summary
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.
