John Garamendi, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 8th district, recently shared his thoughts and participation in various public events and campaigns on social media.

On April 5, 2025, Garamendi emphasized the importance of safeguarding unions, freedoms, and democracy. He stated "Hands off our unions!! Hands off our freedoms!! Hands off our democracy!! Today I attended the #HandsOff rally in Washington DC with unions and thousand of protesters. We must resist and fight back any way we can."

On April 7, 2025, Garamendi highlighted the issue of pay disparities faced by AANHPI women, marking the #AANHPIEqualPay Day. He elaborated, "Today is #AANHPIEqualPay Day—the day AANHPI women catch up to what white, non-Hispanic men earned last year. But many face even wider gaps. For every $1 they earn, AANHPI women make just 83¢—some, like Native Hawaiian & Bhutanese women, make even less. Time to close the gap!"

Later on the same day, Garamendi participated in a conversation about national security and economic resilience. Mentioning his collaborative efforts, he stated, "It was great to join @SDChamber & @RepSaraJacobs for a conversation on national security & economic resilience. Proud to share how we’re strengthening shipbuilding, supporting servicemembers, and investing in defense innovation to keep America safe."
