S. Res. 504 is a Senate resolution expressing support for designating November 20 through December 20, 2025, as "National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month." The resolution acknowledges the significant impact of homicides on surviving family members and communities, noting that roughly 10 survivors are affected for each homicide victim, with disproportionate impacts on Black and Latinx communities. The resolution calls on the Senate, Americans, and various organizations to raise awareness about survivors, support them with services and information, encourage research into their needs and mental health resources, and work toward reducing gun violence and improving the homicide case clearance rate. There is no funding attached to this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure expressing the Senate's support rather than authorizing new spending or programs.
