                     RECOGNIZING BRUSH WITH THE LAW

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize an outstanding 
nonprofit organization in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, that is 
serving individuals in need in our community.
  Brush With the law, based in Montgomeryville, was founded as a visual 
arts program at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in 2013. 
The program quickly grew popular and was transitioned into one that 
helps marginalized individuals trying to reenter society.
  Brush With the Law works with municipalities and small businesses in 
their endeavors, which involves creation of conceptual art 
installations to beautify our community. These installations seek to 
raise awareness for issues important to local residents, such as drug 
addiction, homelessness, and climate change. The principal goal of 
Brush With the Law is to bring people together, a vision which we all 
should applaud.
  I would like to recognize the founder and director, Maria Maneos of 
North Wales, for her leadership and for her work in empowering our 
community.
