                               RESOLUTION


 
Commemorating the anniversary of the antisemitic attack on participants 
 in the Run for Their Lives walk in Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, 2025.

Whereas, on June 1, 2025, participants in a peaceful walk organized by Run for 
        Their Lives in Boulder, Colorado, held in solidarity with the hostages 
        taken during the October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, 
        were targeted in a violent antisemitic terrorist attack;
Whereas the attack was a targeted act of antisemitic terrorism directed at 
        members of the Jewish community and their allies;
Whereas Karen Diamond, an 82-year-old participant, was critically injured in the 
        attack and later died from those injuries, and numerous individuals 
        sustained severe and life-altering injuries, including an 88-year-old 
        Holocaust survivor;
Whereas the attack occurred amid an unprecedented rise in antisemitism directed 
        at Jewish individuals and institutions in the United States following 
        October 7, 2023, including harassment, intimidation, vandalism, 
        violence, and acts of terrorism;
Whereas survivors of the attack and members of Colorado's Jewish community 
        experienced profound trauma in its aftermath, underscoring the 
        devastating impact antisemitic violence has on individuals, families, 
        and entire communities; and
Whereas, 1 week after the attack, more than 15,000 people attended the Boulder 
        Jewish Festival, standing in solidarity with the Jewish community and 
        demonstrating resilience, compassion, and a steadfast rejection of 
        antisemitism and hate: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) honors the memory of Karen Diamond, who died on June 
        25, 2025, from injuries sustained in the antisemitic terrorist 
        attack on participants in the Run for Their Lives walk in 
        Boulder, Colorado, on June 1, 2025, and expresses its deepest 
        condolences and support to the survivors, their families, and 
        all members of the community impacted by the attack;
            (2) commends the Boulder Jewish community, local leaders, 
        medical personnel, first responders, and district attorney's 
        office for their swift response, and for their courage and 
        compassion in the aftermath of the attack; and
            (3) reaffirms its commitment to combating antisemitism, 
        terrorism, and all forms of hate-motivated violence and 
        intimidation in the United States, and affirms the right of 
        Jewish Americans to gather, worship, advocate, and live openly 
        without fear of harassment, intimidation, or violence.
