Bill > HRes476

This resolution condemns a violent antisemitic attack that occurred on June 1, 2025, during a Run for Their Lives march in Boulder, Colorado, where participants were peacefully calling for the release of hostages kidnapped by Hamas. The attack, which involved a makeshift flamethrower and Molotov cocktails, injured multiple people including a Holocaust survivor, and is being investigated as a terrorist act and federal hate crime. The resolution highlights a broader context of rising antisemitic incidents across the United States, with Colorado experiencing a 40% increase in antisemitic activity in 2024. It condemns the attack, expresses solidarity with survivors and their families, recognizes the Boulder community's resilience, calls for continued vigilance against antisemitism, and affirms the United States' commitment to protecting all people's freedom of speech, religion, and right to live without fear of persecution. The resolution also commends law enforcement for their swift response and the Run for Their Lives organization for continuing their weekly walks despite the attack, demonstrating solidarity and commitment to their cause of highlighting the ongoing hostage situation in Gaza.
