On the recordJune 25, 2020
I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the people of my city of Minneapolis, who are angry, who are sick, who are tired of being murdered at the hands of police. I rise on behalf of Jamar Clark, who was shot in the back and killed by Minneapolis police in 2015. I rise on behalf of Philando Castile, who was brutally murdered by police. I rise on behalf of Black mothers, like myself, who stay up worried every single night so that their sons can come home safe. I rise on behalf of Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Frederick Gray. I rise on behalf of George Floyd, who was brutally murdered, and his brutal murder touched our Nation. I rise because so many can no longer rise. When we build a system that provides equal justice for everyone here in America, we might finally all rise. {time} 1545
