01 · The brief
Simple ResolutionWhat this resolution actually does

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.
