Joe Morelle, a U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 25th district, recently shared his thoughts and activities on social media. His posts highlighted his engagements with community organizations and reflections on historical events.

On February 18, 2025, Morelle acknowledged the efforts of local partners in supporting Afghan families resettling in the community. He stated, ".@KOPRochester and the Association of Wartime Allies have been dedicated partners working to support Afghan families resettling in our community.

Later that day, Morelle expressed gratitude for his collaboration with Willow Center NY, an organization focused on preventing domestic violence. He tweeted on February 18, 2025: "I'm always grateful for the chance to meet with my friends at @willowcenterny and I'm proud to work in Congress to support their critical mission.

Reflecting on historical events, Morelle marked February 19 as a day of remembrance for Japanese Americans affected by Executive Order 9066 during World War II. On February 19, 2025, he posted: "Eighty-three years ago, the wrongful internment of Japanese Americans started with Executive Order 9066. We mark today as a day of remembrance each year because we cannot forget these atrocities or allow them to be repeated."
