Mr. Chair, I don't know about all Americans. As a matter of fact, many of the communities that I represent are lower income. They are struggling to pay their electricity bills, and I doubt that they have gotten $50 million or part of what the Climate Justice Alliance got. Most of my constituents don't have time to run around protesting with ``Free Palestine'' signs the day that the Prime Minister of Israel was addressing Congress. I will tell you this. Justice should not be based on ethnicity, migrant status, or income status. Justice should be blind in America. Unfortunately, we have gotten away from that, and this is funding it. I suggest that we all vote in favor of this and have justice be blind and have all Americans and all citizens treated equally. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
