               WEAR RED WEDNESDAY TO BRING BACK OUR GIRLS

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is Wear Red Wednesday to 
Bring Back Our Girls, a day that I ask my colleagues to join me in 
remembering those affected by the ISIS-linked Boko Haram. In light of 
Friday's reprehensible terrorist attacks in Paris, our remembrance will 
be especially important.
  As we lower our heads in somber prayer for the Parisian victims and 
raise our voices in disgust over ISIS' horrifying acts, I hope that we 
will also remember the millions of people around the world who have had 
their lives destroyed by ISIS and its affiliates. This, of course, 
includes the 15,000 people ISIS-linked Boko Haram has murdered in West 
Africa.
  We will continue to wear red every Wednesday until we free the Chibok 
girls from Boko Haram, and we will continue to tweet, tweet, tweet 
#bringbackourgirls, #joinrepwilson.
  Please continue to pray for the people of Paris and continue to pray 
for the victims of Africa.
