Grace Meng, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 6th district, recently expressed her views on various national issues through social media. Her tweets reflect concerns over infrastructure funding, gun violence prevention, and educational rights.

On January 24, 2025, Meng criticized a recent executive order signed by the president in his first week at the White House. She stated that the order “defunding infrastructure projects across the country” would result in communities like Queens missing out on essential funds intended for road repairs, bridge rebuilding, and clean water provision. The full tweet can be viewed here.

Later that day, Meng commented on President Trump’s decision to disband the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention shortly after taking office. She highlighted the impact of this decision by noting that “another community is experiencing the terror & tragedy of a school shooting.” Meng emphasized that children deserve better protection against such tragedies. Her tweet is available here.

On January 25, 2025, Meng addressed education rights in recognition of International Day of Education. She stressed that “quality education should be a fundamental right,” pointing out that millions of children worldwide lack basic access to education. Meng reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring all children have opportunities to succeed. This message can be found here.
