Make the Road Action NY

…all to pay for EVEN MORE HUGE tax cuts for billionaires, big corporations, and special interests.

Today, we rallied outside her office on Staten Island to call her out and express our outrage over her inexcusable vote.

SHAMEFUL! Last week, Rep. Malliotakis voted to help pass the heinous #OneBigUglyBill that will take away health care and other basic human needs programs away from tens of thousands of Staten Islanders, millions of New Yorkers, and tens of millions of other people across the country… /1

“Every person in the country is now in grave peril. The consequences of this legislation will ripple through every community."

In response to the House passing the Reconciliation Bill, which will now head to Pres. Trump’s desk, Natalia Aristizabal said on behalf of our org’s thousands of members.

We are back on Staten Island at the office of Rep. Malliotakis to demand she listen to her constituents and VOTE NO on “The Big Beautiful Bill” which includes $793 BILLION in Medicaid cuts, while giving major tax cuts to the ultra wealthy.

#HandsOffMedicaid

Rep. Malliotakis, which side are you on?

We need Rep. Malliotakis to stand with her constituents and keep her #HandsOffMedicaid!

The Senate just voted on extreme cuts to Medicaid and other essential programs our communities depend on to survive, while giving major tax cuts for the ultra wealthy and big corporations.

Earlier today, we joined @nynurses.bsky.social and allies on Staten Island to call on Rep. Malliotakis to listen to her constituents and REJECT efforts to cut Medicaid, the Essential Plan, ACA and Medicare. #HandsOffMedicaid

The GOP agenda intends to cut billions from Medicaid, the Essential Plan, ACA and Medicare, irreparably damaging the health care system and terminating health coverage for nearly 16 million people. Call members of Congress and tell them to vote NO, and to keep their #HandsOffMedicaid!

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody.

We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza.

Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

“We call for the immediate release of @bradlander.bsky.social and a complete stop to ICE’s damaging tactics."
