Tomorrow is Wear Red Wednesday to Bring Back Our Girls, a day that I ask my colleagues to join me in remembering those affected by the ISIS-linked Boko Haram. In light of Friday's reprehensible terrorist attacks in Paris, our remembrance will be especially important. As we lower our heads in somber prayer for the Parisian victims and raise our voices in disgust over ISIS' horrifying acts, I hope that we will also remember the millions of people around the world who have had their lives destroyed by ISIS and its affiliates. This, of course, includes the 15,000 people ISIS-linked Boko Haram has murdered in West Africa. We will continue to wear red every Wednesday until we free the Chibok girls from Boko Haram, and we will continue to tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls, #joinrepwilson. Please continue to pray for the people of Paris and continue to pray for the victims of Africa. ____________________
