Recognizing the 15th Anniversary of the January 8, 2011, Tucson, Arizona, shooting and honoring the survivors, victims, and former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, a gun violence survivor, and one of the Nation’s most influential voices of courage in the fight to end gun violence.
Whereas, on January 8, 2011, a tragic act of gun violence occurred in Tucson, Arizona, during a  Congress on Your Corner  event hosted by Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, resulting in the deaths of 6 individuals and the injury of 13 others, including Congresswoman Giffords;
Whereas among those killed were Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona John Roll, Gabriel  Gabe  Zimmerman, a congressional staff member to Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and the first known congressional staffer killed while serving, Dorothy  Dot  Morris, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard, and nine-year-old Christina-Taylor Green;
Whereas Ron Barber, who was serving as District Director to Congresswoman Gabby Giffords at the time of the attack, and later as a Member of the House of Representatives, was critically injured while performing his public duties, and has since demonstrated extraordinary resilience and continued commitment to public service;
Whereas Pamela Simon, a congressional staff member dedicated to supporting the work of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and the constituents of Arizona’s 8th district, was also injured in the attack and continues to exemplify perseverance as a survivor and advocate;
Whereas the attack shocked the Nation, underscoring the dangers of political violence and the importance of civility, empathy, and respect in American democracy;
Whereas the people of Tucson and the State of Arizona came together with resilience, compassion, and unity, inspiring the Nation with their strength in the face of tragedy;
Whereas former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords has, in the years since, become a champion of courage and perseverance, dedicating her recovery and her voice to preventing gun violence and promoting civility in public life; and
Whereas countless Americans, community organizations, law enforcement officers, and first responders have worked in the years since to honor the victims through acts of service, advocacy, and civic engagement: Now, therefore, be it
That Congress—
(1)
honors the memory of the 6 individuals whose lives were lost on January 8, 2011, and expresses continued support for all survivors and families affected by the tragedy;
(2)
recognizes the courage and leadership of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her ongoing work to promote civility, bipartisanship, and solutions to prevent gun violence;
(3)
commends the people of Tucson and first responders for their strength, compassion, and heroism in responding to the attack; and
(4)
reaffirms its dedication to promoting a respectful dialogue, condemning political violence and hate, and maintaining the core principles of peaceful self-governance.
