Congresswoman Maloney has been arrested while protesting in front of the Supreme Court. She will not be silenced. Statement to come. - Maloney Staff
It has been the honor of my lifetime serving New Yorkers, and while my time in Congress is coming to an end, I will never stop fighting for the city I love.
The best is yet to come.

White Supremacy is one of the most insidious threats to our democracy. Tragically, there are now more than 733 hate groups operating in the United States and the number is on the rise.
Congress must continue to shed light on this growing problem and come up with substantive solutions.
There is no room in this country for hate, violence, and discrimination.

If we are serious about fighting climate change, we cannot pass the #dirtydeal.
I stand with Chair @RepRaulGrijalva & by my signature on a letter urging House leadership to separate fossil fuel fast-tracking provisions from must-pass legislation.
.@HunterPresident Raab’s creativity & steadfast commitment to providing NYers with a world class education and cutting-edge opportunities are two of the many legacies of her tenure at @CUNY Hunter College. Congratulations & thank you for your service to education in our City.
On Jan. 15, Michelle Alyssa Go was tragically pushed to her death in front of an incoming train at the Times Square subway station by Martial Simon, a man suffering from schizophrenia.
This horrific event should never have taken place.
Read my @NYDailyNews Op-Ed and their editorial on the need to address mental health in NYC and pass the Michelle Alyssa Go Act👇

At our @FSCDems hearing we examined the affordable housing crisis. In NY and across the country, rising interest rates are impacting homeowners, home buyers, and even renters. As mortgage rates have increased by nearly two basis points, the median home price rose by over $50,000.
One solution to open the doors of homeownership to more Americans would be to allow for a 50-year mortgage option which would bring down the cost of interest payments for low-income home buyers, compared to the traditional 30-year mortgage.
Paid sick leave is a right. Railroad workers who keep our nation’s economy moving have endured long hours with shamefully low pay & benefits for years. We should have their back.
That’s why I voted to keep our economy on track & increase paid sick leave for railroad employees.
Native women earn approximately 51 cents per dollar paid to white men. Today on #NativeWomensEqualPay I call for an end to systemic violence, poverty & healthcare disparities. We must finally ensure justice for our Native communities.
Over 30 years ago when I introduced the first measure to recognize same-sex domestic partnerships in NY, I understood the importance of providing crucial legal safeguards for same-sex couples.
It is time we extend these protections to everyone across the nation.
Tonight, the Senate passed the #RespectForMarriageAct which extends these protections nationwide.
I will proudly vote again to pass this important legislation and send it to @POTUS for his signature.
