This resolution expresses strong support for the designation of June 6, 2025, as "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" and the entire month of June 2025 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month." The initiative seeks to honor the victims of gun violence, including Hadiya Pendleton, and draw critical attention to the significant human cost of gun-related incidents across the nation. The bill highlights alarming statistics, noting nearly 46,000 annual gun deaths and 97,000 injuries, emphasizing that gun violence has claimed more lives than all U.S. wars combined since 1968, affecting thousands of children, teens, and veterans. Furthermore, the resolution calls upon the people of the United States to actively promote greater awareness of gun violence and gun safety. It specifically encourages individuals to wear orange on National Gun Violence Awareness Day as a symbolic tribute to victims and their loved ones. The resolution also urges heightened attention to gun violence during the summer months, when incidents typically increase, and advocates for community leaders and members to collaborate on effective strategies to enhance overall community safety.
