Expressing support for the designation of November 20, 2023, through December 20, 2023, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month".

This symbolic resolution (HRES 879) expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating November 20-December 20, 2023, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month." It aims to raise public awareness about the needs of individuals who have lost loved ones to homicide, particularly highlighting impacts on Black and Latinx communities and survivors of intimate partner violence. The resolution calls for supporting survivors through services, research, and community-based responses, while encouraging the public to promote healing and address gun violence. It does not create new laws or allocate funding, but serves as a formal recognition of survivors' experiences.
