I had a great time at @peekskillcsd’s Saturday Academy yesterday, where I got to see the community school model in action. Community schools address the needs of the whole child and their family, and my legislation with @SenGillibrand would invest $3.65 billion to expand them. @ Peekskill, New York

It was great to spend this afternoon celebrating #Pride at the first-ever Yorktown for Justice Pride March. Celebrations like this reaffirm our commitment to fighting for LGBTQ+ justice, which is why I will not stop until we pass the Equality Act. @ Yorktown, New York

REP. JAMAAL BOWMAN & WORKING FAMILIES PARTY ON THE STATE OF THE UNION: Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) delivers a video op-ed on behalf of the Working Families Party in response to Pres. Biden's address. He lays out a progressive vision to address racial injustice, police violence, workers rights, and more.

In his first 100 days, President Joe Biden has delivered real, bold relief for the American people but our work is far from over. I'll keep fighting for the ongoing relief our communities desperately need so we can crush this virus, support our communities, and Build Back Better.

New York has already passed many of the vital policies needed to save our democracy nationally. Now, Congress must follow. Grateful to have partners like State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins in this fight.

There have already been 147 mass shootings in 2021, and we're only 116 days into the year. Now the Supreme Court is ready to make it even easier to buy and carry guns. We must #ExpandTheCourt - for our lives.... https://www.vox.com//supreme-court-guns-second-amendment-n See more

Some folks worry that expanding the Supreme Court would politicize it. But the GOP politicized the court when it held Merrick Garland’s seat open for 14 months. Expansion is about rebalancing the court and saving democracy. #ExpandTheCourt

Tucker Carlson spewed his usual racist garbage about me on his show last night. I need your help countering his lies. Can you donate today? https://bit.ly/3sz6FCN

Chag Sameach to all in NY-17 beginning their #Chanukah celebrations tonight! Wishing you all the light of family and tradition to help drive out darkness wherever it exists.

A fitting tribute to a trailblazer who left an indelible legacy on the House of Representatives, and on this nation. On behalf of the people of Westchester and Rockland, thank you, Congresswoman Nita Lowey.

The American people elected Joe Biden with a mandate to fight for bold solutions to our greatest problems as soon as he takes office. Today, I stood with Senator Schumer and Congressmen-elect Ritchie Torres and Jamaal Bowman to urge President-elect Biden to #CancelStudentDebt on Day 1 of his administration. For every generation before mine, education has offered young people a ticket to the American Dream. ... That dream has not materialized for my generation. The cost of higher education has soared. Now, millions of Americans are saddled with debt. It’s time to #CancelStudentDebt.

We got our office space today. Longworth 1017 for New York’s 17th District

House Democrats want to enact a COVID relief bill for working families. We want another round of stimulus checks. We want to extend unemployment insurance benefits. But if we don’t help Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff win in Georgia, Mitch McConnell will keep standing in our way. On #GivingTuesday, join me in supporting their campaigns: https://bit.ly/3l6XEO2
