IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

November 20, 2025

Mr. Scott of Florida introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To designate November 2 through 8 as Anti-Communism Week, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the “Anti-Communism Week Act”.

SEC. 2. DESIGNATION OF ANTI-COMMUNISM WEEK.

(a) Findings.—Congress finds the following:

(1) Anti-Communism Week is a solemn remembrance of the devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies.

(2) Across continents and generations, communism has wrought devastation upon nations and souls.

(3) More than 100,000,000 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.

(4) Honoring the memory of those lives renews the promise of the United States 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.

(5) For more than a century, communism has brought nothing but ruin, silencing dissent, punishing beliefs, and demanding that generations kneel before the power of the state instead of standing for freedom.

(6) The story of communism is written in blood and sorrow, a grim reminder that communism is nothing more than another word for servitude.

(7) 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.

(8) New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of “social justice” and “democratic socialism,” yet their message remains to give up freedom, place trust in the power of the government, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control.

(9) The United States rejects communism and remains a country founded on the eternal truth that liberty and opportunity are the birthrights of every individual, and that no ideology, whether foreign or domestic, can extinguish them.

(10) The United States stands in defense of the values that define it as a country of free people and honors 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.

(b) Designation.—Chapter 1 of title 36, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section: “Sec. 149. Anti-Communism Week

“(a) Designation.—November 2 through November 8 is Anti-Communism Week.

“(b) Proclamation.—The President is requested to issue each year a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe Anti-Communism Week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.”.

(c) Clerical Amendment.—The table of sections for chapter 1 of title 36, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 148 the following new item:

“149. Anti-Communism Week.”. <all>
