Proclamation 10080

National Gang Violence Prevention Week, 2020

This proclamation designates September 20–26, 2020, as "National Gang Violence Prevention Week." It largely recounts the Trump Administration's existing anti-gang law enforcement initiatives—Operation LeGend, Joint Task Force Vulcan, Project Safe Neighborhoods, and border security measures—without creating new programs, mandates, or legal obligations. It calls on Americans to observe the week with "appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities."
