                         HONORING SAMANTHA WOLL

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I rise to take a moment to honor the life of 
Samantha Woll, as our neighbors across Michigan and throughout the 
country mourn Samantha's tragic murder. She was a deeply loved member 
of our social justice community. She was a friend of mine.
  Our mutual friend, Dan, reminded me how she showed up to my swearing-
in ceremony with that beautiful, sweet smile and the warmest eyes that 
greet you. She embraced him in a hug, saying she was so happy that he 
showed up and how important it was. That is who she was. She showed up 
for others always.
  Her organizing work, from progressive politics to interfaith work 
between Jewish and Muslim communities, has built bridges and made our 
communities stronger.
  Please keep her loved ones and our community in your prayers as her 
family seeks justice and healing during this difficult time.
