This resolution expresses support for designating November 20 through December 20, 2025, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month." It recognizes the national public health crisis of gun violence and the profound, traumatic impact of homicides on thousands of families and communities each year, noting the disproportionate effect on Black and Latinx individuals. The resolution emphasizes that survivors face chronic physical and behavioral health consequences and require holistic, compassionate support and services for healing. It calls for efforts to raise awareness of survivors, provide them with essential support services , and encourage research into effective community responses, improved behavioral health access, and ways to increase the national homicide clearance rate. Ultimately, the resolution urges the public and interest groups to promote awareness, actively work to end gun violence, and respond to families impacted by homicide with consistency and compassion. It encourages observing the designated month with activities that honor victims and support survivors.
