                        Thursday, April 11, 2024

  Mr. VARGAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Dorinda ``Dori'' 
Nicholson, an outstanding citizen and reproductive rights advocate who 
serves our community, both as a health care worker and a volunteer of 
Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest.
  Dori is being honored for her efforts to provide high-quality 
reproductive health care necessities to constituents and educate our 
community about women's health issues. She is a long-time resident of 
City Heights and works as an X-ray technologist in the South Bay, 
providing care for those in need. Dori was moved to join the fight for 
reproductive rights after Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, an 
impactful decision that changed the lives of many.
  From a young age, she received educational and health resources from 
Planned Parenthood and is proud to work alongside the organization she 
has since admired on projects and initiatives that benefit residents 
throughout our community. As a volunteer of Planned Parenthood of the 
Pacific Southwest, Dori provides care kits for patients, an important 
basic need that may be non-existent or disregarded in regular health 
care facilities. She has also helped Planned Parenthood with several 
important events, including the San Diego Pride Parade and the Planned 
Parenthood 60th Anniversary Annual Dinner.
  I am proud to honor Dori Nicholson as the 52nd Congressional District 
Constituent of the Month for March 2024. Her dedication, commitment, 
and advocacy have made our community a better place, and I can't think 
of a
