Gillibrand and Velázquez were joined by Congress Member Gregory Meeks and President and CEO of the Hispanic Federation Frankie Miranda inside the senator’s Midtown office as they called for at least $1 billion in nutrition assistance as well as asking the Biden administration to provide robust humanitarian aid and disaster relief for the Dominican Republic and other Caribbean nations impacted by Hurricane Fiona.
