Expressing support for the designation of June 6, 2025, as "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" and June 2025 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month".
This resolution (HRES 457) is a symbolic measure expressing congressional support for designating June 6, 2025, as "National Gun Violence Awareness Day" and June 2025 as "National Gun Violence Awareness Month." It does not create new laws or policies but encourages public awareness through specific actions: wearing orange on June 6, focusing on gun safety during summer months, and holding community discussions. The resolution references statistics on gun violence deaths and honors Hadiya Pendleton, a teen victim killed in 2013. It directly affects the public by calling for voluntary observance and community engagement, not government mandates.
