Condemning the violent antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, and expressing support for the survivors and their families.
Sponsor introductory remarks on measure. (CR H2632)
This resolution is a statement adopted by the House of Representatives condemning a violent antisemitic attack in Boulder and expressing support for survivors and their families. It is non-binding and does not create new law or change government policy. Because it is a House simple resolution, it only reflects the position of the House and is not sent to the President or enforceable as law.
This House resolution condemns the violent antisemitic attack at a Run for Their Lives march in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, 2025, expresses solidarity with survivors and families, and commends local responders.
It notes rising antisemitic incidents, calls for vigilance and federal resources to counter antisemitism and investigate hate crimes, and affirms support for freedom of speech and religion.
This is a House simple resolution (expressing the chamber's sentiments), not legislation that can become law; adoption by the House is likely, but it cannot become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a conventional, non-binding House resolution: it clearly states and contextualizes the incident and expresses congressional condemnation and solidarity, while providing minimal implementation, fiscal, or oversight detail.

May press for federal support for community security and anti-hate programs.
Generally supportive: views the resolution as an appropriate, nonpartisan condemnation of violent hate.
Seeks clarity on what 'federal resources' means and wants measured, implementable responses rather than symbolic language alone.
Supportive of condemning violent antisemitic attack and backing law enforcement response.
Emphasizes law-and-order, protection of religious liberty and free speech, and may resist broad federal expansion to address the problem.
