[applause] ms. williams: in my home state of georgia, republican state legislators have unleashed an unprecedented torrent of voter schemes to make it incredibly hard to vote and to silence our voices, especially communities of color. as we saw in the 2020 election and in the 2021 runoff election, georgians are not afraid to fight daily for what so many take for granted in this country. including the right to vote. but the sad part is, y'all, we shouldn't have to. no one should be subjected to the daily threats of their rights being taken away. h.r. 1, the for the people act, will put a stop to the voter suppression that we're seeing being debated right now in georgia, by taking an aim at the institutional barriers to voting. h.r. 1 would also create a national standard for voter rental administration because your zip -- registration because your zip code shouldn't determine your access to the ballot box. i'm proud to suppor

i think every platform should be used to amplify the voices of these foot soldiers like john lewis. while they are no longer here, i am renewed by the fact that others are picking up the baton and helping to carry forth that message. you know, john gave us the road map. john and those foot soldiers told us we should never give up and we should never give in, that we have to keep our eyes on the prize because progress is elusive. just because they fought for this 56 years ago, almost 60 years ago, doesn't mean that we must sit on our laurels. we have to know that progress always needs consistent vigilance in order to be maintained. and so i'm honored to represent selma, alabama in the halls of congress, birmingham, montgomery, but i realize there is a huge responsibility as well, and that is to further the legacy of these foot soldiers, these prefreedom riders, these people who were drum majors for justice. it's important that we who stand on their shoulders do something about it. we must advance their cause. >> congresswoman terri sewell, thank you so much for being with us today. a

hr-1, the for the people act, and then the john lewis act. the john lewis voting rights act. what do these two bills do? >> so hr-1, which is the big that passed the house, is a massive piece of legislation that basically imposes federal voting standards. it includes 15 days of early voting in states. it guarantees essentially every american the right to mail in voting without an excuse and it sets up a system to create same-day voter registration. there are also measures on campaign finance and eth i thinks reform to that. the john lewis voing rights act fixes the part of the 1965 act that the supreme court gutted in 2013. it essentially creates a rolling 25-year situation where states with a history of passing discriminatory laws within that period have to get federal permission in order to change their laws. and over ten years, after that period, if they show good behavior, then they can get off that list. >> and tell me a bit more about president biden's strategy. he says he's open to filibuster reform, but he's trying to prioritize legislation that might not require even

that man who called john lewis a civil rights icon. john lewis would have been the first one out there fighting against this. the bill the governor signed tonight is a slap in the face to john lewis who gave his life, who risked his life for the right to vote. whose skull was fractured, who was arrested more than 40 times, all for the right to vote. and tonight governor kemp is taking away that right from the people he was elected to serve. the vote one of the pillars of our democracy and it is no coincidence this is happening in the state that helped joe biden win the white house, the state that gave democrats control of the senate. no coincidence at all. georgia republicans are making it harder for a whole lot of people of color, most of whom support democrats, to vote. president joe biden is passionate in his first press conference today about protecting the most sacred right we have as americans, the right to vote, railing against voter suppression efforts, calling them sick and un-american. >> what i'm worried about is how un-amer

john lewis has been something that's been so important to us.l the perfumes and trying the make—up. not many people in there now, like there used to be, - so it didn't surprise me. john lewis was so important to sheffield that the council paid it more than £3 million to effectively keep it here. it signed a new 20 year lease just last summer, as part of a wider regeneration plan. but it's now done a handbrake turn. the shift online has been unprecedented. there are some areas of the country which, you know, sad as it is, we can't any longer profitably sustain the size of store we've got today. but have they been too hasty? i think we'd question their strategy as we are just literally days away from stores reopening and john lewis now remain the only department store standing, really, in a lot of cities up and down the uk. and there's a lot of money to be spent. people haven't been spending money in lockdown and it may be that they're making these decisions to close stores a little bit too early before people get back in and start spending. sheff

jackson lee: john robert lewis standing for what is good. with that, madam speaker, i know we will do good and get into good trouble. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas, mr. green. mr. green: thank you, madam speaker. madam speaker, and still i rise. a proud liberated democrat. unbought and unbossed. and i rise today to address the question of life and death. the question associated with the governor of the state of texas indicating that on tomorrow people may go out into the public and to public venues without a mask. he's leaving it to the public to make decisions associated with life and death. life and death in texas because the seven-day average for hospitalizations is 60,000. the number of people that died on last sunday was 65. life and death. he leaves it in the hands of people who may somehow believe that he is risking his life. not so, not to the extent the public will be, those who haven't been vaccinated, because on december 22 of last year the

chuck schumer is not yet whipping this vote on getting rid of the filibuster for the john lewis voting rights act. barack obama, who spoke the at the john lewis funeral and called on democrats to get rid of the filibuster, he has not started barnstorming the country. that will happen soon, and when it does and brings this issue to a head and the question ripens, i think democrats will unite around this. but only in the third inning. >> that's what i want to ask you. i asked you about chuck schumer's approach versus mitch mcconnell's. but i mean really this depends on people like -- doesn't it depend on people like joe manchin and kirsten sinema in order to get this done? >> yeah. but like i said, i think that the narrative -- there's at least three reasons why i think that in the end of the day, joe manchin and kyrsten sinema are gettable. number one is this issue has not ripened yet. like i said, all these bills that are coming over from the house, chuck schumer is going to bring them up. we're going to see the republicans do what they're doing this week. ron johnson forcing the covid

what was it like for you today to mark bloody sunday without john lewis?ve. there was a sadness there because he's here year after year. i also thought about the legacy and last year we lost three big giants that would come every year, representative john lewis, reverend c.t.vivien and joseph lowry. when we got to the top of the bridge because i knew that representative lewis was ill, all of a sudden there was a crowd, you know, that just started moving and we look over at the bridge and here comes representative lewis, it was like the parting of waters. he stood up on that stool and he actually gave this message, and in the midst of him battling for his life at a late stage of his illness, he was literally telling us that there was work that had to be done. i'm very reflective of that moment and honored that i got to live on this earth while he walked this earth. >> well said. you are from georgia where the lines were epic last year during the primaries especially. the georgia bill that will outlaw volunteers from giving voters food and water, to voters i

this represents reuben lewis. the third my son. go fund me has been established to help support lewis's children. counseling services are also available to the young children at the park at the time of the shooting, julie, it's just so heartbreaking to think about that and to think about it happening in front of all those kids and his children. police have not said much about a motive, but they did say the two knew each other. do we know it all? azenith smith how they knew each other. we don't know at this time how they knew each other. but ah friend had said that maybe jealousy was the motive. julie, all right, as a thank you. well police in san jose say they broke up three side shows in different locations around the city last night. they happen between 10:30 p.m. and one o'clock this morning at lundy and conquers branham and monterey and failing and seventh streets. three suspects were arrested for having guns. one person was taken into custody for reckless driving. at least five vehicles were impounded and more than 40. people

john lewis understood that and was beaten on a bridge defending it. amelia boynton, like so many women not mentioned nearly enough, was gassed on that same bridge. a white woman named viola luisa was killed. medgar evans was murdered in his own driveway. goodman, two jews and an african-american standing up for that sacred idea for democracy also paid the ultimate price. and we in this body would be stopped and stymied by partisan politics? short-term political gain senate procedure? i say let's get this done no matter what. i urge my colleagues to pass these two bills, strengthen and lngten the cores of our democracy, premier voice for freedom-loving people and democratic movements all over the world. and ensure a future for all of our children. mr. president, i yield the floor. >> new u.s. senator from the great state of georgia, reverend warnock. you rarely hear applause like that in the senate. thunderous round of applause from the senators who gathered to hear him give his first remarks as a u.s. senator f that's what debate and regulation regula

she is looking to press ahead with lewis' legacy. women of washington. >> i do want to acknowledge nikema williams who is here, because in some ways she made it possible. >> high praise from congresswoman nikema williams, who is also the first black chair woman of the georgia party. >> we got the college votes for joe biden. we delivered not one but two senate seats to change the course of the country. >> reporter: she is a first member of congress. some got a clue when she had to get an invitation, she had to look it up. >> i didn't know what an enrollment ceremony was. >> reporter: vogt rights under fire, she is learning the ropes fast, using her new role to fight the nationwide 30 protections as republicans back home in georgia pass a law limiting access to voting. >> when i talked leading up to the election, people are like, oh, that's cute. they think they are going to win. republicans are pushing back. you are upset you are going to win. so they will do everything in their power to restrict access to people who mainly reflect m

you know i grew up watch ing jon lewis.ay from -- i was born a couple of years away from the voting rights act being passed into law i know about him. but for the generations to come, i think about those in these three books for the young people that he made this trilogy. the last one, "march," dealing with selma, the voting rights act, and talking about the importance and what they had to go through, the dog fights, the sting of the ropes, the crack of the billy club just for the right to vote in 1965 on a racist named bridge, edmund pettis bridge. what are we going through in 2021? congressman john lewis made it a point erks understood the significance of his work, his life's work. what he did, he decided to come together with the trilogy. and this is one of the books so that young people could understand the history and the importance of what they went through peacefully, nonviolently, to give us the right to vote that is challenged today. and what we get out of this in his efforts for peace and nonviolence, for first cl

lewis.t, the polls in new york are interesting to watch, though not dispositive certainly. 50% of respondents say, no, the governor should not resign. 35%, yes. a hefty 15% with no opinion. hard to believe in new york. should that be his barometer? >> well, look i think we have to separate the moral and ethical question from the political question. if i'm advising him in purely machiavellian terms, i say stay right where you are. ralph northam had a similar turn of events where everybody was calling on him to resign, telling him he had to get out. unlike al franken, ralph northam just stayed in office. and now, see the problem with resigning is that becomes the last word on you, right? that is the first -- that becomes the first line in your obituary. if you stay put and ride this thing out, again, i'm, you know, as a conservative, i am not -- i have an agenda here where i shouldn't really be giving advice even to the democrats. but i think that history has shown, actually, that the better b

president biden is honoring the life of lewis, urging congress to expand voting access. the first bloody sunday since the civil rights icon passed away. at a virtual ceremony this afternoon, the president honored lewis and other civil rights leaders who shed blood in 1965. president biden urged congress to pass h.r. 1 and restore the voting rights act in john lewis' honor. biden taking action, signing an executive order to expand access to voting. >> elections officials in 43 states have introduced over 250 bills to make it harder for americans to vote. we cannot let them succeed. >> biden's executive orders calls on federal agencies to give its workers time off to vote and volunteer as poll workers. it's limited provisions. it's up to congress to pass comprehensive reform. which brings me to south carolina congressman jim clyburn. good to see you. i want to start with the new executive order on voting rights signed by president biden to mark the anniversary of bloody sunday. it's limited in scope. your reaction to the order. >> thank you very much for having me. i am ve
