H.Res. 741 — Acknowledging that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, individuals experienced hate and were targeted by the government on account of their faith, race, national origin and immigration status, and suggesting various forms of relief to support those affected.

This section expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that (1) it condemns all manifestations and expressions of racism, xenophobia, discrimination, scapegoating, and ethnic or religious bigotry; (2) it acknowledges the climate of hate that Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities have experienced since September 11, 2001; (3) it acknowledges that the government implemented policies that profiled and unfairly targeted Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities after September 11, 2001; (4) an independent commission should be created to work with community-based organizations to review these government policies, investigate and document their impact, and provide recommendations to dismantle those policies which continue to profile and unfairly target these communities; (5) congressional and civil rights bodies should hold hearings to explore the findings and recommendations of this independent commission in consultation with and centering community-based organizations; (6) resources should be allocated to community-based organizations outside and independent of law enforcement that center the experiences and demands of Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Sikh communities to support hate crime prevention and victim needs (including language support, mental health, comprehensive support, system navigation, and crisis response and recovery) and to create alternatives to law enforcement and transformative justice programs that are culturally and linguistically accessible and focus on vulnerable populations within these communities (including but not limited to working class people, undocumented and immigrant communities, women, nonbinary, and LGBTQ communities); and (7) the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation should work together to study the impact of hate, government targeting, political rhetoric, and profiling on physical and mental health.
