We are introducing legislation to designate a portion of a street in Washington, D.C., as "Jimmy Lai Way" to honor the Hong Kong democracy advocate. This serves as a symbolic gesture to condemn his unjust imprisonment and spotlight the importance of freedom of speech and human rights worldwide.

Finally, a street named after someone who stands for press freedom—not just donors!
