ICYMI This Week: Rep. Meeks Defends Medicaid and Honors Political Legend | | Reps. Meeks and Meng Hold Medicaid Action Day at Queens Hospital | My colleague, Representative Grace Meng (NY-06), and I held a Medicaid Day of Action on Tuesday at Queens Hospital. We met with the hospital’s CEO, toured the facility, and ended the event with a press conference to discuss the Republican budget plan and the Medicaid scam that will upend the lives of thousands of Queens residents. Specifically in NY-05, these cuts will impact more than 300,000 people. Democrats are fighting everyday against Trump’s reckless attacks on Medicaid and our most essential federal assistance programs. View event photos, here. Read more, here. | | Reps. Meeks and Barrett Introduce Bipartisan Legislation Protecting Martin Luther King Jr., Day and Inauguration Day | My Republican colleague, Tom Barrett and I introduced the Proper Celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Inauguration Day Act. The purpose of the bill is to amend US Code so that if MLK Day and Inauguration Day fall on the same date, MLK Day will be observed on the Tuesday following the third Monday in January. MLK Day honors the legacy of Dr. King and encourages a day of service and reflection on the ideals that guided his work during the civil rights movement. Read more on the bill, here. | | Rep. Meeks Honors Constance Baker Motley's New Stamp | I joined USPS to honor the late Constance Baker Motley at the unveiling ceremony of her postal stamp in Southeast Queens. Motley was the first African American woman appointed to the federal judiciary, elected to the New York State Senate, and first woman to serve as the Manhattan Borough President.
