Whereas, on June 12, 2016, a gunman inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria targeted the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where he killed 49 innocent victims and wounded dozens more in a despicable attack;

Whereas the attack at the Pulse nightclub was an attack on the LGBTQ community, the Hispanic community, the City of Orlando, the State of Florida, and the United States;

Whereas the people of the United States continue to pray for those affected by the tragedy; and

Whereas June 12, 2026, marks 10 years since the lives of the 49 innocent victims were tragically cut short by this senseless act of terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
