Key Points

  • The Senate officially named January 2026 as National Stalking Awareness Month to help the public understand the risks of stalking and how to prevent it.
  • The resolution shares that over 13 million people in the U.S. are victims of stalking every year, and about 80% of these cases involve the use of technology like social media, text messages, or tracking apps.
  • It encourages police departments, colleges, and community groups to work together to improve how they investigate stalking and to provide more support for those affected.
  • This action is meant to highlight that stalking is a serious crime in all 50 states and often serves as a warning sign for more severe physical violence, especially in personal relationships.
