This resolution supports designating November 20 through December 20, 2025, as National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month. With more than 22,000 homicides occurring annually in the U.S. and 40% going unsolved, for every victim there are at least 10 surviving family members left to navigate grief and trauma. The resolution draws attention to the disproportionate impact on Black and Latino communities — nearly 1 in 4 Black or Latino adults have lost a loved one to gun-related homicide — and calls for better support services and research.
