ANTI-COMMUNISM WEEK, 2025 – Presidential Proclamation

ANTI-COMMUNISM WEEK, 2025 – Presidential Proclamation President Donald J. Trump proclaims the week of November 2–8, 2025 as Anti-Communism Week, calling Americans to remember the victims of communism and to reaffirm the nation’s commitment to liberty. Condemnation of Communism Communism is described as one of history’s most destructive ideologies, responsible for more than 100 million deaths worldwide. It is portrayed as a system that erases faith, suppresses freedom, destroys prosperity, and violates God-given rights and human dignity. The proclamation states that communism’s history is “written in blood and sorrow” and equates it with servitude. Warning Against Modern Forms Trump argues that, even after the Cold War, forms of tyranny persist. He warns that “new voices” are repeating old communist ideas, now dressed up as “social justice” or “democratic socialism.” These movements are described as pushing people to trade freedom and prosperity for government control—something America “rejects.” Affirmation of American Principles The United States is reaffirmed as a nation founded on the eternal truths of liberty and opportunity as birthrights of every person. No ideology, foreign or domestic, is said to be able to extinguish these rights. Purpose of Anti-Communism Week To honor the victims of communist oppression. To stand united in defense of the values of a free people. To ensure that communism and any system denying life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are consigned to the “ash heap of history.” Formal Proclamation Trump, acting under his constitutional and legal authority, officially proclaims November 2–8, 2025 as Anti-Communism Week. The proclamation closes with the traditional “IN WITNESS WHEREOF” formula, dating it “in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred fiftieth.” Core Themes
