The Senate Resolution commemorates June 2025 as Gun Violence Awareness Month, honoring the victims and survivors of gun violence, particularly those affected by the tragedies at Michigan State University and Oxford High School. It highlights the pervasive impact of gun violence across American communities, noting that since 1968, more individuals have died from gun-related incidents than in all U.S. wars combined. The resolution also references the alarming statistics of gun violence in 2025, where over 15,000 Americans, including nearly 100 children under the age of 11, have already lost their lives.

The resolution pays tribute to Hadiya Pendleton, a teenager who was tragically shot shortly after participating in President Obama's inauguration, and recognizes the Wear Orange movement initiated by her friends to honor her and others affected by gun violence. By designating June as Gun Violence Awareness Month, the resolution encourages citizens to wear orange and engage in community efforts to prevent gun violence, thereby honoring the lives lost and promoting the value of human life.
