“Today is Wear Something Red Wednesday to bring back our girls. This week marks the second anniversary of the April 14, 2014, kidnapping of the Nigerian Chibok schoolgirls, 730 days. This week and next, Members of Congress will join us in commemorating the tragic event that captured the world's attention and calling for increased action to defeat Boko Haram, the world's deadliest terrorist organization. Members of Congress--Republicans and Democrats, men and women--have all galvanized behind this cause. House leadership, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, have joined us in wearing something red on Wednesday to bring attention to this cause. I urge my colleagues and everyone to continue to lend their voices to this cause and join us. We should never forget. We must never forget the Nigerian Chibok girls. For almost 2 years we have tweeted to raise awareness to this issue in Congress, and we will continue to tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls. Tweet every day. Tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls. ____________________”
