                        REMEMBERING GEORGE FLOYD

  (Ms. OMAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in anguish on behalf of George Floyd 
and his family, on behalf of Minneapolis, and on behalf of everyone who 
has been impacted by police brutality.
  It has been 4 years since George was brutally murdered in front of 
the whole world. We have been fighting every day since then to pass 
meaningful criminal justice reform.
  What we are fighting for is a dignified life. What we are fighting 
for is equal access to exist as ourselves. What we are fighting for is 
to undo 400 years of being brutalized, victimized, surveilled, 
enslaved, imprisoned, and having the life choked out of us in the 
cities we call home.
  We will continue to fight for change until we achieve a better 
future, the future that George deserved.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the George 
Floyd Justice in Policing Act.
