Proclamation 10988 of November 7, 2025
Anti-Communism Week, 2025
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
This week, our Nation observes Anti-Communism Week, a
solemn remembrance of the devastation caused by one of
history's most destructive ideologies. Across
continents and generations, communism has wrought
devastation upon nations and souls. More than 100
million lives have been taken by regimes that sought to
erase faith, suppress freedom, and destroy prosperity
earned through hard work, violating the God-given
rights and dignity of those they oppressed. As we honor
their memory, we renew our national promise to stand
firm against communism, to uphold the cause of liberty
and human worth, and to affirm once more that no system
of government can ever replace the will and conscience
of a free people.
For more than a century, communism has brought nothing
but ruin. Wherever it spreads, it silences dissent,
punishes beliefs, and demands that generations kneel
before the power of the state instead of standing for
freedom. Its story is written in blood and sorrow, a
grim reminder that communism is nothing more than
another word for servitude.
In the 34 years since the end of the Cold War, the
world has witnessed both the triumph of democracy and
the persistence of tyranny in new forms. New voices now
repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of
``social justice'' and ``democratic socialism,'' yet
their message remains the same: give up your freedom,
place your trust in the power of the government, and
trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort
of control. America rejects this evil doctrine. We
remain a Nation founded on the eternal truth that
liberty and opportunity are the birthrights of every
person, and that no ideology, whether foreign or
domestic, can extinguish them.
As we mark Anti-Communism Week, we stand united in
defense of the values that define us as a free people.
We honor the victims of oppression by keeping their
cause alive and by ensuring that communism and every
system that denies the rights to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness will find their place, once and
for all, on the ash heap of history.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by virtue of the authority
vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, do hereby proclaim the week of November
2 through November 8, 2025, as Anti-Communism Week.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
seventh day of November, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
(Presidential Sig.)
