Condemning the violent antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado, and expressing support for the survivors and their families.
H. Res. 476 is a non-binding House resolution introduced on June 4, 2025, condemning a violent antisemitic attack that occurred on June 1, 2025 in Boulder, Colorado during a peaceful Run for Their Lives march. The resolution expresses solidarity with the survivors and their families, commends the Boulder community’s resilience, and calls for continued vigilance and federal resources to counter rising antisemitism, investigate hate crimes, and support targeted communities. It also reaffirms protections for freedom of speech and religion and emphasizes that hate and violence have no place in the United States. The bill is a declarative statement of Congress’ stance rather than a law with enforceable provisions. The resolution notes the attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism and a federal hate crime, cites rising antisemitic incidents in Colorado and nationwide, and references ongoing law enforcement responses. While it mentions the Run for Their Lives organization (which advocates for the release of hostages in Gaza), the resolution itself does not create programs or funding; rather, it signals congressional support and calls for federal action where appropriate.
