                       CONGRESS CANNOT STOP HERE

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in support of the George Floyd 
Justice in Policing Act. The measures in this bill are long overdue and 
are a step forward in ensuring people, especially Black folks in our 
country, do not experience racist police violence.
  We can't stop here, though, Mr. Speaker. I think about Aiyana 
Stanley-Jones, a young girl in Detroit who would be graduating from 
high school this year if she had not been murdered by police when they 
raided her home, the wrong home, while she slept in 2010.
  We can't stop here. We must continue to push policies that will tear 
down structural racism, reimagine public safety, and divest from 
policing so we can invest more in education, healthcare, mental health, 
jobs, transportation, things that keep us safe and our communities 
thriving.
  Aiyana should be here. George should be here. Breonna Taylor should 
be here. They all should be here.
  Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker, and I continue to work toward justice 
for all of us.
