  Ms. ESCOBAR. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
participation of the El Paso Juvenile Justice Center in this year's 
Global Youth Service Day.
  The El Paso Juvenile Center has dedicated the month of April 2022 to 
engage and educate local youth to speak out against violence in our El 
Paso community. Through events with stakeholders, leaders, and 
community members, our young people are creating solutions on how to 
prevent hate crimes and violence using art. They are concluding the 
month with paying tribute at the El Paso Healing Garden to the 23 
victims who lost their life and the 22 injured victims of the horrific 
Walmart shooting of 2019.
  I praise the work that the Juvenile Justice Center is doing to help 
our young people

thrive and be active community members. Our young people of today will 
be our leaders of tomorrow and they will be equipped to solve problems 
our community faces.
