Anti-Communism Week, 2025
This document is a presidential proclamation designating a specific week—November 2 through November 8, 2025—as Anti-Communism Week. The text frames communism as a destructive ideology responsible for oppression and vast loss of life, and it calls on the nation to remember victims, reaffirm liberty and human dignity, and affirm that no ideology can replace the will and conscience of a free people. It emphasizes opposition to communism and to ideologies it portrays as substituting government control for individual rights, and it asserts that America remains committed to liberty, opportunity, and prosperity. As a proclamation, this is largely ceremonial. It signals a public observance and sets a thematic frame for reflection, speeches, and educational or commemorative activities. It does not create new laws, funding, or regulatory requirements, but it does articulate a strong rhetorical stance and encourages observance consistent with the administration’s stated values.
