HRES 1317 United States House · 117th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of November 20, 2022, through December 20, 2022, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month".

HRES 1317 designates November 20-December 20, 2022, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month." It symbolically recognizes families, friends, and communities affected by homicide, particularly highlighting disproportionate impacts on Black and Hispanic/Latinx survivors. The resolution encourages raising awareness, supporting survivors through services, and promoting research on trauma and healing. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funding but calls for community engagement and compassion.
