RECOGNIZING AND HONORING THE PRINCIPLES OF NON-VIOLENCE PRACTICED BY
MAHATMA GANDHI
______
HON. ZOE LOFGREN
of california
in the house of representatives
Friday, February 5, 2021
Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the principles of non-violence practiced by Mahatma Gandhi in light of recent vandalism of a Gandhi statue in Davis, California.
As we continue to debate and settle our differences, we must continue to embody the principles of Gandhi, who not only brought independence to his own people, but inspired generations of civil rights activists, including the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. Violence and vandalism are never the answer and I call on all my colleagues to join me in condemning the desecration of the Gandhi Statue of Peace.
