Ms. JAYAPAL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of a group of 11-
and 12-year-old girls from my district who have noticed an unsettling
trend in modern politics and who are absolutely determined to do
something about it. They see bullying from leaders who are supposed to
be their role models. They witness fear, intimidation, and vitriol
being thrown at religious minorities, LGBTQ people, women, immigrants,
communities of color. And, yes, I am also somebody else's baby. In the face of this hate, these girls have decided to take action by
forming the D.C. Bully Busters. These change-making girls, not even old
enough to vote yet, but certainly old enough to make their voices
heard, have vowed to stand up against the bullying they are seeing in
American politics.
