                      GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

  (Ms. SHALALA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SHALALA. Madam Speaker, today as we mark Gun Violence Awareness 
Month, we wear orange to remember the victims of gun violence.
  We remember Parkland. We remember Pulse and Charleston and 
Pittsburgh. We remember Virginia Beach. We remember the children of 
Liberty City and Sandy Hook.
  We wear orange to remember. We wear orange to remind ourselves that 
we must not give up until children can go to school, worshippers can go 
to church, and employees can go to work free from the fear of gun 
violence.
  We will not give up until universal background checks are in law and 
until the weapons of war are banned from our streets.
  Madam Speaker, we will not give up until this epidemic is over.
