Families deserve to live without fear and uncertainty about what comes next. Today, I stood alongside local leaders and advocates with a clear message for the U.S. Senate: Pass the House's bill to extend TPS for Haitians!

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

We will never forget the innocent lives we lost, the sacrifices of our nation's bravest heroes, and the painful memory we carry 25 years later.

America was wounded, but even in our darkest moment—we prevailed because of our ability to come together as Americans with resiliency, compassion, and civic duty.

We continue to honor those we lost, and the families who help us carry on their memory, now and forever.

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

The Trump DHS' latest attempt to pit Americans against one another is not only bigoted but also entirely un-American. Sowing division doesn't make us stronger. It weakens our communities.

I stand in solidarity with the Sikh community and the thousands of Sikh neighbors, friends, and workers who call #NY05 home. You belong here.

*"AMERICA FOR AMERICANS...SELF-DEPORT MR SINGH"*

USA Homeland Security, the department of American government in charge of domestic security, released a poster today depicting a brown bearded man with a headcovering, along with text saying "you don't know how to drive Mr Singh".

Happy first day of school, Queens! It's a new year with new opportunities, so let's start it off strong. ✏️📚🎒

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

Every NYC Mayor has attended 9/11 remembrance ceremonies to pay their respects to those we lost on September 11, 2001. Mayor Mamdani has the same right and should pay his respects and stand alongside New Yorkers as the city remembers. 

This is a moment when political differences are set aside to make room for unity.

On the 25th anniversary of those devastating events, let us continue our solemn tradition of coming together to honor the survivors, the families of lost loved ones, and the courageous first responders who ran into unknown danger to save lives.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony Friday despite mounting criticism from some family members of victims and several prominent Republicans who have called on him to stay away. https://t.co/fk8t9CJIRi

The American workforce is at the heart of our nation’s progress. Today, we recognize those workers and unions who drive our economy and help make #NY05 and our country stronger every day.

Happy Labor Day!

Political disagreements are acceptable in any democracy. But this goes further than that, skipping right past human decency and landing on racist tropes. Shame on you.

When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Trump and Republicans have put America LAST, and families are paying the price.

[House Foreign Affairs Committee Dems @HouseForeign]

Americans are getting sick from spikes in Ebola, measles, tuberculosis and Cyclospora.

And what's the Trump administration doing?

Slashing funding for global health programs that combat the spread of deadly infectious diseases and prevent them from reaching the United States.

Read my statement on the passing of Pierre Damas Bel.

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

There is absolutely no evidence that supports Trump's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. It's becoming desperate at this point. Don’t believe the CON!

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

Thank you to Pres. Williams and members of The Heart of Rockaway for hosting an important community meeting. These conversations are one of the best parts about serving #NY05 because I get to hear directly from constituents about issues that matter the most. I appreciate all who participated in making our community stronger.

Here's what New Dems were up to during the final week of the August district work period!

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Our fight to restore voting rights in the Deep South and throughout America is just getting started.

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

Today, we marched because we will not stand silent in the face of injustice. We will organize, we will lead, and we will keep the movement alive until the promise of America is a reality for all. #ProtectTheVote

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

#FBF to the first March on Washington 63 years ago. Today, we will continue to march for justice—and our resolve remains stronger than ever.

Today, I joined Terminal 5, Fraport USA, JetBlue, and the JFK Redevelopment Office to hand out book bags to young students living in South Jamaica. Thank you for the great work you do for the community, Southern Queens Park Association! 🎒📚✏️

[Rep. Gregory Meeks @RepGregoryMeeks]

Protecting your community is not a crime. Standing up to ICE is not a crime. Conducting oversight is not a crime. 

I have your back in this fight, LaMonica.

[Rep. LaMonica McIver @RepLaMonica]

My statement on the ruling in my case today. I will not fold to this administration. We are exploring every possible option.
