I'm proud to stand with my colleagues in urging @SecBlinken to address the plight of #EelamTamils in Sri Lanka. I firmly support their fundamental right to self-determination and call for a fair and impartial independence referendum to resolve this painful conflict.

Last week, @RepDonDavis, my colleagues, and I sent a letter to @SecBlinken urging him to uphold human rights for the Eelam Tamils following the genocide in Sri Lanka. From Sri Lanka to Sudan to the Congo, we must uplift and fight for all marginalized groups facing violence.
