STANDING TOGETHER FOR PEACE
(Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, as President Zelenskyy said, we are
the leaders of peace. The President is the leader of world peace.
Thank you, President Biden, for recognizing the crisis and the murder
and pillage and slaughter of babies in Ukraine.
Let us continue to stand together, but I am fighting as much to be
able to solve the Ukraine crisis as I am for peace.
Let me also acknowledge this past week the remembering of those who
were killed in Atlanta, which exhibited the worst kind of Asian hate.
Let us stand together against such hate and stand together for what is
right.
Let me also mention the fighters at the Pleasant Village senior
citizen housing. They have been fighting against eviction, against
disrespect, and against a complete altering of their living quarters.
They determined that they should have quality-of-life housing. I am
asking the new owner to stand down and to allow this housing project or
this housing facility to be for seniors in their later lives so they
can have a better quality of life.
I will continue to fight to ensure that they have a place to live
that is safe and best for them.
