                  HATE HAS NO PLACE IN OUR COMMUNITIES

  (Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today denouncing hate. 
Whether hate manifests as Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, transphobia, or 
any other form, hate has no place in our communities.
  Madam Speaker, that is why I am supporting Mr. Nadler's plan to 
combat anti-Semitism by implementing the U.S. National Strategy to 
Counter Anti-Semitism and increasing funding for the Nonprofit Security 
Grant Program.
  It is why I am supporting Mr. Green's two-state solution resolution.
  It is why I signed on to Ms. Wasserman Schultz's letter regarding the 
safety and security of our college campuses.
  Condemning hate is not just about words, it requires action.
  The resolution I am introducing will not merely condemn hate, it will 
support the implementation of comprehensive policies to prevent and 
respond to hate crimes, including education and training on prevention 
and response and acknowledgment of the challenges facing vulnerable 
groups.
  Madam Speaker, together, we can build a future where compassion 
prevails.
