 RECOGNIZING AND HONORING THE PRINCIPLES OF NON-VIOLENCE PRACTICED BY 
                             MAHATMA GANDHI

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, February 5, 2021

  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the 
principles of non-violence practiced by Mahatma Gandhi in light of 
recent vandalism of a Gandhi statue in Davis, California.
  As we continue to debate and settle our differences, we must continue 
to embody the principles of Gandhi, who not only brought independence 
to his own people, but inspired generations of civil rights activists, 
including the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Violence and vandalism 
are never the answer and I call on all my colleagues to join me in 
condemning the desecration of the Gandhi Statue of Peace.
