House Joint Resolution 355, sponsored by Lynn, seeks to commemorate "Victims of Communism Day" in the State of Tennessee on November 7, 2025. The resolution reflects on the historical impact of communism, tracing its roots back to the Bolshevik Revolution over a century ago, and highlights the oppressive regimes that have emerged under its ideology, including those led by notable figures such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot. It emphasizes the significant human toll of communism, which has resulted in the deaths of over 100 million people and the systematic violation of fundamental human rights, including freedom of speech, worship, and association.

The resolution calls for the people of Tennessee to honor the victims of these regimes, acknowledging the diverse backgrounds of those who suffered under communist rule, including political prisoners and victims of state-sponsored purges. It aims to raise awareness of the atrocities committed in the name of communism and to recognize the importance of preserving liberty and human dignity. An appropriate copy of the resolution will be prepared for presentation, ensuring that the message is conveyed without legislative designations.
