Congresswoman Grace Meng

A great evening with New York League of Conservation Voters! I’m grateful for their leadership in protecting our environment, tackling climate change, conserving our lands and waters, and safeguarding the health of all New Yorkers. (1/3)

As the top Democrat on the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Subcommittee—which funds NOAA and the National Science Foundation—I’m fighting back against the Trump Administration’s attacks on science, research, and our environment. (2/3)

It was an honor to join the Alliance of South Asian American Labor (ASAAL), including many of our community’s small business owners. Small businesses are the backbone of Queens’ economy. I’m fighting back against the President’s tariffs, which are driving up costs for everyone. (1/2)

For too long, scammers have stolen SNAP benefits from New Yorkers, leaving families struggling to put food on the table through no fault of their own. I joined local leaders to announce that New York is rolling out chip- and tap-enabled EBT cards to better protect families from benefit theft. (1/3)

In Congress, I introduced my Ending Stolen SNAP Benefits Act to authorize the federal government to replace stolen SNAP benefits and help New York and other states cover the cost of upgrading to more secure cards. (2/3)

"Major floods turned Flushing streets into rivers. Families in southeast Queens and the Rockaways were bailing out their homes. These are the same neighborhoods where Hurricane Ida’s flooding killed our neighbors only five years ago... (1/2)

Honored to speak at the FDNY Phoenix Society’s annual scholarship dinner and celebrate its tireless work supporting Asian American firefighters and strengthening ties between the FDNY and our Asian American community. (1/2)

I stopped by Selfhelp Community Services in Maspeth to hear from local seniors and share an update on my work in Congress to lower costs, improve access to care, and more. Listening to their concerns helps my team and me better serve our community. (1/2)

Great to stop by the 20th annual Hispanic/Latino Book Fair at the Hispanic/Latino Cultural Center of NY in Queens! Proud to celebrate writers across generations—from acclaimed novelist, essayist, and screenwriter Ernesto Quiñones to emerging student authors. (1/2)

Enough.  
Even Ambassador Huckabee and senior American and Israeli officials have condemned this lawless terror. 
Palestinians, journalists, and Israelis continue to be attacked. (1/2)

This past week, my team and I learned that a doctor from Maspeth who works at a local hospital had been detained by ICE. We stepped in to help with his case, and I’m grateful and relieved that he was released today. But too many families never get that news. (1/2)

I am devastated by the horrific shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School, and my heart is with the entire community in Bend, Oregon. No child or teacher should fear for their safety at school and their families shouldn’t have to worry whether they will make it home. (1/3)

The time for responsible gun laws was long before this tragedy even happened. I have continued to fight for common-sense laws that would protect our communities from continuing to experience these preventable tragedies. (2/3)

We’re bringing a new community center to Jackson Heights! Proud to join Governor Hochul, Council Member Krishnan, and local leaders to announce an additional $10M from New York State to help make it happen. (1/2)

This is horrifying. I’m relieved authorities prevented this attack, but it’s a stark reminder of the threats facing houses of worship. No one should have to choose between practicing their faith and feeling safe. (1/3)

That’s why I introduced the Pray Safe Act—to create a federal clearinghouse where houses of worship, faith-based organizations, and other nonprofits can find security best practices, federal security grants, and safety training opportunities. (2/3)

SNAP skimming is robbing families in New York and across the country of the benefits they need to buy groceries. These families aren’t scamming the system—they’re being targeted by criminals. I’ve helped thousands of New Yorkers recover millions in stolen SNAP benefits. (1/3)

But families shouldn’t have to fight to get back what’s rightfully theirs. We need a federal solution. That’s why I introduced the Ending Stolen SNAP Benefits Act: to help states upgrade EBT card security and allow the federal government to replace stolen benefits. (2/3)

Our vote is our voice. We cannot let President Trump’s attacks on voting rights silence our communities. I joined Reps. Morelle & Meeks for a shadow hearing in Forest Hills to shine a light on threats to fair representation and access to the ballot box.
