we are proud to honor john lewis, the best of america with the stamp. >> ladies and gentlemen, inaugural president and chief executive officer of the john and lillian lewis foundation and former chief of staff to john robert lewis. >> mr. speaker, hakeem jeffries, colleagues, friends and families of congressman john lewis. it warms my heart and it is amazing. it is kind of ironic that we are here today to celebrate john lewis and the u.s. postage stamp that will bear his likeness. ironic may not be the exact word. let me tell you why it came to mind when i talk of this occasion. i was congressman lewis's chief of staff back in the day before there was internet and before everyone had a cell phone. dbs trackers were not generally available. so when i had to track the congressman down, which i had to do rather often, i had to sent interns to do it the first place i would send them would be here. i would tell them to come here first. most of the time, here is where they would find him. he was talking to groups of students, chatting with the capitol police,

the importance of the john lewis voting act, the importance of what he vote for, and the fact that we have his name on it, it's not lost on any members of the democratic caucus on how important that right is, and how, sadly, we still need to fight for it. so, we look forward to it, i hope you will join us at the press conference later today, but it's an important part of who we are on the democratic caucus platform, and it's important, and teary school has done an important job of leading house democrats to ensure we both honor john lewis and keep talking about the importance of voting rights, which we need to do a lot of, and we need to draw more attention to those people who want to reduce access to the polls. susan: absolutely, incredibly important piece of legislation, john lewis talked about the sacred right that we have the ability to vote, how critical it is to our democracy, and we continue to see from republicans, at tax on our democracy over and over again and attacks on voting rights. it's very important we stand up to make sure peoples voices can be heard. in every part of

and it's important to make sure our voices are heard and in the spirit of john lewis in good trouble and making sure folks are aware and pushing and fighting for these rights across the country. reporter: what are house democrats willing to specifically compromise nondefensewise when it comes to appropriations? are house democrats willing to compromise with house republicans in reducing spending to prepandemic levels or do you insist that the pandemic related spending -- mr. aguilar: we'll make it very clear. we want to abide by the deal speaker mccarthy agreed to with president biden. and those spending levels is exactly what the senate marked their appropriation bills to. those spending levels are the deal. if house republicans want to abide by a deal that their leadership negotiated with the president we're willing to govern and work and mark the appropriations bills and carry forward the necessary and important work to fund government and make sure national parks stay open and make sure we're doing cancer research and protecting the border and reducing the scourge of fentanyl com

and that's ultimately decision emma goldman made and it's the decision john lewis made and lewis made it under duress. martin luther king begged him to change his speech and he said no. and martin luther king said, john, it doesn't sound like you and. lewis kind of clapped back at him and said, yeah. martin it sounds like us, meaning the young people who'd really been in the fight. similarly, emma goldman's lawyer quit because was hell bent on, giving a defense of from the courtroom where. she was about to be sentenced to ultimately a year in prison, potentially more years if she had given the speech. you want to give and she decided she would bring more people to her cause by a sympathetic being sent to jail, as opposed to someone who used their last words of freedom before stint in jail to incite people to more, more violence and and lewis ultimately made that decision too, which is rather than confront america with his lived reality, he would explain to america his lived reality and instead say, so if this offends you as much as it has offended me. join us as opposed to wake up. so

martin luther king junior and the district represented by the late john lewis lewis. am reminded of the seeds planted by dr. king, congressman lewis and those who marched before us and their courage and power in the unwavering fight for freedom, equality and justice. the principle of collective power is part of the black and jewish caucus period and proud to serve as a co-chair with debbie wasserman schultz. i lead in the spirit of congressman john lewis who understood the deeply interconnected fight for justice shared by black and jewish communities. the interconnectedness remains strong as we face rising hate speech and antisemitism, attacks on freedom and attempts to erase our history. we know we fight together, victory is ours. it is a reminder for congress that we are stronger together and stronger when we build bridges to respect one another and take care to one of -- understand one another and stronger when we come together to move our nation forward. the caucused strengthens mutual respect and understanding for the good of the whole, to reflect the light we wi

and he's got john lewis and snick and, all these other people who people who have flown from all over the country taking busses and trains to join this protest. we're expecting to walk across that bridge with him in the lead. and king is trying to figure out what if we just go to the bridge and make a prayer and turn around. he's trying to find a way to please everybody. and you can't. and i think some people view that as one of history. basically he aborted the aborted the march and he went to a certain point and then right. and stopped and a lot of people felt like he he sold out. so what happened in chicago? i mean, it looked like the movement almost turned a made a diversion when he went north, when he went to chicago trying to to work civil rights there. what happened in chicago? why wasn't he well-received king? you know, we often tell the story of king as if in last years of his life, he became more radical. and then he began to focus northern segregation and northern racism. i make the contention others have written this as well, that he was radical all along and. he was calli

we recently named it after the beloved john lewis.nd we should all have on the tip of our tongues that we need the full protection of the voting rights act. the original voting rights act not only had section 2, which actually, while we are happy to have section 2, you can't unring the bell. once you have discrimination you can go to a court. what we have to put back in there is preclearance. it's a prophylactic measure. on the front end they are not going to be able to enact the laws at all. we need both. so the john robert lewis voting rights advancement act is the answer. and we should file it. i will continue to file it. and we should try to pass that. i also know that it is so important that we acknowledge our limitations. earlier this week, tuesday, i filed the john lewis voting rights act in the 118th congress. this time. it will probably go nowhere because the house is controlled by republicans who refuse to come to the table. and as marc so eloquently said, voting rights used to be a bipartisan effort. now it's very much a pa

in the words of john lewis, it is the most powerful nonviolent tool in our democracy. and yet across the nation, extremists are waging the most coordinated efforts to restrict voter access in this generation. together, we will address these issues head rep. sewell: every gn must bite. -- fight. struggle is a process, freedom is never won, you earn it and win it in every generation. our freedoms can be fleeting if we do not protect them. the threats as we -- we as americans -- black our faces are real, but they are not coming from overseas. they are coming from our fellow citizens, just as they have for the past 400 years. old battles have become new again. i know for a fact that if we join together, we can and we will win. it is going to take our collective action and it is going to take us getting into some good trouble. victory is far from assured, but we are not without resources. we have the intellectual, the organizational and political power to fight back. that power is largely in your hands. everyone has a role to play. today, we will be discussing the actions t

now we must pass the john louis which is -- john lewis act.e epidemic of hate and violence we face may we use this moment to inspire us to stand firm in our beliefs and continue to work ahead. signed by kamala harris, our vice president. lastly, also from the white house, the oval office. as you gather on this solemn day, i reflect back when i had to humbly honor the visiting the 16th street baptist church. it was deeply moving reminder there are moments in history so shocking that it divides all that came before from all that comes after. these moments force us to confront difficult truths about our society and ourselves. it occurred in the morning of september 15, 1963 when four innocent girls preparing for sunday school were murdered in an unconscionable act of racial hatred. addie mae, carole, cynthia, and denise were children of god. each of them with so much to offer. each of them cherished and loved by their families and community. each of them taken from an act of evil that went unpunished for decades. this horrific act 60 years ago ha

we are not about to give up on this fight, which is whywe willr the john lewis that. we will continue to fight the good fight.in, we have to save e country. those who have been on the underside of the story pushed the country closer to its ideals . thomas jefferson said we hold these truths to be self-evident that all are created equal. you stand at the jefferson memorial and you think about those words, right across the basin. there is a black man facing thomas jefferson named martin luther king jr., his arms folded as if to say did you mean what you said when you said what you said? that is the story of the people on whose shoulders we stand. that is the work of the congressional black caucus foundation and we look forward to this important discussion. god bless you and keep the faith.

but you know, as john lewis said, you can never give up and never give in.e pendulum swings right to left, that progress is elusive and that every generation has to fight to hold on to the progress that we've made and to try to extend it. and so i see this as a further step towards progress in our state. if alabama can have two districts where african american voters in alabama have the opportunity to choose a candidate of their choosing, that to me is progress. and i know that it will affect not only alabama but we're waiting on louisiana and georgia. and it will have a ripple effect. and not just in congressional seats. because what this case says is that the voting rights act of 1965 is alive, well, and enforceable, section 2. and so section 2 is about voter dilution. even in jefferson county, where we have five commission seats, i think that you'll see a lawsuit to try to see whether or not that violates the vra section 2 because there are so many african american voters in that county. it has a big effect all around. and you know, i know that john had s
