Rep. Gregory Meeks

This #Juneteenth, we honor the resilience of Black Americans and the long road to freedom. The fight our ancestors started isn’t over and we won’t stop until true equality is won for everyone. #FreedomDay.

The championship is back in New York! 🏆🗽 Congratulations to the @Knicks for their historic win. It’s even more exciting that fans across the city can safely celebrate this win at the parade today. abc7ny.com/live-updates/k…

Americans are tired of thoughts and prayers without action. Communities deserve policies that save lives, and Democrats are fighting for commonsense gun safety laws.

Happy Islamic New Year to everyone in #NY05! May this new year bring you peace and blessings for you and your loved ones. #IslamicNewYear

Caught up with my @RepGregoryMeeks on Black Music Month, his favorite artist, and what Black music means to us.   We filed legislation with Rep. Carson & Sen. Booker to recognize June as Black Music Month – because, recognition is in order.

Today marks 14 years of #DACA. For more than a decade, #Dreamers have built careers, raised families, paid taxes, and strengthened communities across the country. They deserve permanent protections, not uncertainty. Congress must deliver a permanent solution.

Statement from Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks on the announced memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran:

Let's go @knicks! Game 5 is here and I'm ready, jersey and all. It's time to bring it home! #KnicksinFive 

Today, I wore orange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Americans want real action that makes our communities safer. Democrats will never stop fighting for commonsense gun safety laws.

Get into it! #GoKnicks

☀️ Heads-up, New York. Thursday brings the first real scorcher of the season, with the heat index climbing to 98°F (37°C) by early afternoon. A Heat Advisory is in effect from noon Thursday through 8 PM Friday. The best move on a day like this is to find a cool option, meaning any public or private space with air conditioning, like a library, a mall, a friend’s place, or a city cooling center. Find one near you at nyc.gov/beattheheat. 🧊 Cranking AC across the city also strains the power grid, so timing your energy use matters too. Here is how the day will feel hour by hour, and what to do at each step to stay ahead of both. 👇

The Trump administration blocked my mayor from meeting Colombia’s democratically elected leader. Authoritarian governments silence what they fear. I’d expect this from Xi’s China. Not from the United States of America. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

63 years after the #EqualPayAct was enacted, the wage gap persists, especially for women of color. Equal work deserves equal pay. We must keep fighting until that promise becomes reality. 

Nobody has ever walked into a grocery store or gas station, paid a higher price than before, and said, “You know what? I love this.” I guarantee you that.

Gas prices are over $4 per gallon across the country, millions of Americans are losing access to health care, and inflation is rising. What are Republicans doing about it? Sending an additional $70 billion to ICE & CBP despite DHS sitting on $100 billion in unspent cash from last year.

It was a pleasure to meet with @NYSHFA_NYSCAL today to discuss pressing health care issues from the skilled nursing workforce shortage to the Medicare Advantage program. Providing affordable health care for residents in #NY05 remains one of my top priorities in Congress.

The road to a title continues tonight. #NY05 is cheering on the @nyknicks in Game 2! 🏀🗽

🚨🚨 The House just PASSED @RepGregoryMeeks’ Ukraine Support Act. This bipartisan vote makes clear: the American people stand with the people of Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russian aggression.

🚨 The House just voted 216-204 to clear the final procedural step for the discharge petition to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia. We will vote on final passage later tonight This is our Churchill moment, and we must pass the test.
