BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

For more than a century, human freedom has been threatened by communist and socialist ideologies that eliminate individual opportunity, subjugate individuals to the state, and extinguish the God-given rights upon which free nations are built.  This Anti-Communism Week, we are reminded of the devastating consequences of state control over human thought, creativity, and political expression, resulting in suffering, poverty, exploitation, violence, and misery for millions, and we renew our commitment to protect the sacred values of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness from the chains of tyranny.

Our Republic was founded upon the enduring conviction that our rights are inherent, our liberties are sacred, and our Government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.  These principles have defined our national character for over 250 years and continue to distinguish our way of life from that of all other countries on Earth.

Today, however, our American experiment faces renewed threats as socialist, communist, and radical leftist ideologies find increased expression in our Nation.  We must remain vigilant in defending the principles that sustain our Republic and ensure the lessons of history are never forgotten nor repeated.  Under my leadership, America will never fall victim to these evil ideologies, and the United States will never become a communist country.

The story of America is, above all, a story of a Nation uniting as one, standing up to tyranny, and charting its own destiny as a free and self-governing Republic.  As President, I will always protect the founding principles for which so many fought and died.  Together, we will defend our Constitution, which protects our freedoms; uphold the dignity of every individual; strengthen the free market, which has made us the most prosperous country ever to exist; and ensure that the promise of America remains alive and well for generations to come.

This week, we honor the victims of socialism and communism by remembering their lives, defending the freedoms that were denied, renewing our resolve to safeguard the Republic entrusted to us, and reminding ourselves that what we have created as a Nation stands as the greatest testament to human freedom in the history of the world.

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 1 through November 7 as Anti-Communism Week.  I call upon all Americans to stand firm in their defense against any threat to the American way of life and to protect our burning flame of liberty from the darkness of communism. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifty-first.

                             DONALD J. TRUMP
