The resolution requests the West Virginia Legislature to officially recognize November 7 as Victims of Communism Day, commemorating the impact of communist regimes worldwide, which have resulted in the deaths of over 100 million people and widespread human rights abuses. It highlights the historical context of communism, beginning with the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, and emphasizes the oppressive nature of various totalitarian leaders who have implemented communist ideologies, leading to the persecution of political dissidents and the suppression of fundamental freedoms.

The resolution also references President Donald Trump's declaration of November 7, 2017, as a National Day for the Victims of Communism and acknowledges the work of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which aims to educate the public about the consequences of communism and honor its victims. The West Virginia Legislature aims to align with this national recognition by designating the day annually and ensuring that the resolution is communicated to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation and posted on the legislature's website.
