Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Rep. AOC & I toured the Culinary Health Center in #NV04 with leadership and workers from @culinary226.bsky.social This union-negotiated healthcare model is an example of what we’re fighting for, and proof that NV can lead the way to improve access to high-quality, affordable care for working people

The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @repaprildelaney.bsky.social and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

Big Tech companies like Flock Safety have built a mass surveillance system to harvest Americans’ private and personal data without their consent. I’m proud to introduce the Ban Flock Act with @sanders.senate.gov to enforce our constitutional right to privacy.

Republicans’ OBBBA specifically targeted New York by stripping 450,000 New Yorkers of their health insurance. I'm proud to introduce the Restoring Essential Plan Coverage Act with @schumer.senate.gov to reinstate federal funding for the Essential Plan and protect our communities.

New York City has one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country. The BUSES Act would directly target New York's bus idling restrictions. If Republicans want this for their kids, that's their business. But I will not allow this to be done to mine.

As we mourn the loss of a trailblazer and a warrior, let us remember the innate kindness that Gloria Steinem brought to her advocacy. She was a true leader, and will be dearly missed as we continue to fight for women everywhere.

1 in 8 young people personally know someone who has been the target of deepfake nudes. The DEFIANCE Act stands to give those survivors a chance to seek justice. Whether my name is on the bill or not, we must not allow sexual predators to run amok. We must pass DEFIANCE.

This summer, my office launched our first ever Summer Reading Challenge for constituents in New York-14. Today, I got to read to our future leaders and talk with them about how we can build community and community power. Thank you NYPL for hosting us today!

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Pharmaceutical companies, like AbbVie and AstraZeneca, abuse the U.S. patent system to monopolize the drug market and prevent patients from accessing affordable drugs. We must develop more stringent standards that reward real innovation and crack down on corporate profiteering.

The Supreme Court is facing a major corruption crisis. I'm proud to introduce the High Court Gift Ban Act, with @raskin.house.gov and @lujan.senate.gov, to remove the influence of dark money from our nation’s highest judicial body. We must safeguard the sanctity of our democracy.

Israel must release pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who has been held without charge for 18 months and now faces an imminent threat to his life from torture. Israel must end the targeting of health workers and the inhumane treatment of Palestinians in arbitrary detention.

I am devastated by the death of Tibetan freedom activist Lobga Rangzen. As we mourn his loss, we continue to fight for human rights in Tibet and across the globe. My heart is with his loved ones and our entire Tibetan community in NY-14.
