AI Summary
This resolution expresses support for designating June 6, 2025, as "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" and June 2025 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month" in recognition of the significant impact of gun violence in the United States. The resolution highlights alarming statistics, including approximately 46,000 annual gun-related deaths, over 19,000 gun homicides, and more than 26,000 gun suicides. It specifically commemorates Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old who was killed in Chicago in 2013, and calls on Americans to wear orange on the designated day as a tribute to victims of gun violence. The resolution urges the public to promote greater awareness of gun violence and gun safety, focus attention on gun violence during summer months when incidents tend to increase, and bring community members together to discuss strategies for improving community safety. By drawing attention to the widespread and devastating effects of gun violence, particularly on young people, children, and veterans, the resolution seeks to encourage national dialogue and collective action to address this critical issue.
