JOINT RESOLUTION

Condemning the deadly attack on May 26, 2017, in Portland, Oregon, expressing deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims, and supporting community efforts to overcome hatred, bigotry, and violence.

    Whereas, on May 26, 2017, three brave community members—Rick Best, Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, and Micah David-Cole Fletcher—were stabbed as they protected two young women who were the targets of threatening anti-Muslim hate speech while riding on the MAX (Metropolitan Area Express) Light Rail in Portland, Oregon;

    Whereas Rick Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche lost their lives and Micah David-Cole Fletcher was gravely injured;

    Whereas acts of heroism and sacrifice for the safety and sake of others in the face of terrorism were demonstrated by the deceased and surviving victims;

    Whereas the Oregonians and people across the country grieve for the families of all affected by this needless tragedy; and

    Whereas the people of the United States stand in solidarity against terrorism, white supremacy, hate, and intolerance: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That Congress—

(1) condemns the deadly attack on May 26, 2017, in Portland, Oregon, in which two innocent people were killed and one other was injured while standing up to hate and intolerance;

(2) offers deepest condolences to the families and friends of Rick Best and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche and expresses its hope for the swift and complete recovery of Micah David-Cole Fletcher; and
