On the afternoon of Thursday, April 10th, in Washington D.C., Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz from the Democratic Party of Florida and Joe Wilson from the Republican Party of South Carolina held a press conference to relaunch the bipartisan “Victims of Communism Caucus” and announce the priorities for the 119th Congress.
This caucus aims to highlight the experiences of individuals who have suffered under communist regimes and to advocate for policies that uphold freedom, democracy, and human rights. By bringing attention to the atrocities committed by communist governments around the world, the caucus seeks to ensure that the lessons of history are not forgotten.
The relaunch of the “Victims of Communism Caucus” comes at a time when authoritarian regimes continue to suppress dissent and violate human rights. Both Wasserman Schultz and Wilson emphasized the importance of standing up against totalitarianism and promoting democratic values in the face of repression.
During the press conference, the congress members outlined key issues that the caucus will focus on, including supporting individuals and communities affected by communist regimes, promoting awareness of the ongoing threats posed by totalitarian governments, and advocating for policies that safeguard liberties and democratic principles.
Through initiatives such as educational events, policy advocacy, and partnership building, the caucus seeks to build a stronger bipartisan coalition committed to combating the scourge of communism and advancing the cause of freedom worldwide.
