Recess is a time for members of Congress to return to their home states. They should be using this week to meet with their constituents, give space for their concerns, and take that back to D.C. Instead, House Republican leaders are now reportedly telling their offices to avoid holding public events when they are home for March recess. This is the opposite of the directions Democrats are receiving—with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries encouraging all members to connect directly with constituents to talk about the Republican-backed attacks on key services like Social Security and Medicaid embodied by Elon Musk's actions and the Republican budget.  Vince Fong  was elected to represent us—he should not be hiding from his constituents. Period.  Add your name to the petition to demand Vince Fong host a town hall or public office hours during the congressional recess!

Town halls are ways for constituents to provide feedback directly to their elected officials to make sure that their concerns and expectations are heard.  When Republicans returned to their districts in February, they were met with the full force of their constituents’ frustrations. They should be taking in that feedback and returning to D.C. to do their job addressing the needs, concerns, and demands of the people they were elected to represent. But instead, they're planning on hiding from their constituents in the upcoming recess, while they continue to ram through Trump and Musk’s wildly unpopular and disastrous plans, slashing services and funding that everyday people need, and giving tax breaks to their billionaire friends. Not on our watch.  We need to remind members of Congress who they answer to.  Not Trump.  Not Musk.  Not just a few billionaires.  Earlier this month more than 75+ MoveOn members from Iowa District 1 urged local representatives to host town halls. But we have to keep up the pressure. Sign the petition to make it clear to Congress that come recess, we expect them to host town halls and office hours, because they answer to the people.

Together for Brothers (T4B) and other community partners across the state have benefitted from the New Mexico Outdoor Equity Fund (NMOEF) since it was established in 2019. The first outdoor equity fund in the country! Tens of thousands of young people and their families from most impacted communities -- low income communities and communities of color -- have been able to access the outdoors including hundreds of brothers, families and community partners in Albuquerque with T4B's Outdoor Equity Project cohort and collaborations with bike rides in the Bosque and Downtown Albuquerque. This includes T4B distributing more than 100 bikes, hundreds of helmets and stipends to our communities! This past year the budget was decreased for NMOEF and most community partners had their funding decreased or eliminated. T4B has joined others including the Governor and New Mexico Economic Development Department (NMEDD) Outdoor Recreation Division to ask the state legislature for full funding at $8 million. So far the Legislative Finance Committee (LFC) and state legislature has only allocated $4 million. ___________________________________________ Together for Brothers (T4B) y otros socios comunitarios de todo el estado se han beneficiado del Fondo de Equidad del Aire Libre de Nuevo México (FdEdAL) desde su creación en 2019. ¡El primer fondo de equidad para actividades al aire libre del país! Decenas de miles de jóvenes y sus familias de las comunidades más afectadas (comunidades de bajos ingresos y comunidades de color) han podido acceder a actividades al aire libre, incluyendo cientos de hermanos, familias y socios comunitarios en Albuquerque gracias al proyecto de equidad para actividades al aire libre de T4B y a colaboraciones con paseos en bicicleta en el Bosque y el centro de Albuquerque. ¡Esto incluye que T4B distribuya más de 100 bicicletas, cientos de cascos y estipendios a nuestras comunidades! El año pasado, se redujo el presupuesto para el FdEdAL y la mayoría de los socios comunitarios vieron su financiación reducida o eliminada. T4B se ha unido a otras organizaciones, como el gobernador y la División de Recreación al Aire Libre del Departamento de Desarrollo Económico de Nuevo México (DDENM), para solicitar a la legislatura estatal la financiación completa de 8 millones de dólares. Hasta la fecha, el Comité de Finanzas Legislativas (CFL) y la legislatura estatal solo han asignado 4 millones de dólares.

Revoking Khalil’s permanent status solely for political reasons sets a dangerous and disturbing precedent, leaving activists across social movements vulnerable. Right now, Trump is targeting pro-Palestinian rights activists. But tomorrow it could be those fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, climate justice, or abortion access.  Trump is testing the extent of his executive powers and his ability to intimidate and instill fear in everyday people who dare to speak out and protest. That’s why we need to speak out and stop him here and now.  Trump recently threatened federal funding of more than 60 universities and colleges, using the wave of student protests that erupted last year in defense of Palestinian rights as an excuse for yet another round of brutal cuts to public services. Columbia University, where Khalil went to school, is among the the targets, with the administration cancelling $400 million in federal funding. Trump does not care about safety or ensuring our schools are welcoming spaces. He has actively been gutting the services that would do just that. Instead, this is yet another power grab—a way to divide everyday people, silence dissenters, gut our public programs, and strip away our rights.  The First Amendment protects freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. For generations, students at campuses have protested and changed the course of history. Sign the petition to demand our leaders protect this fundamental right.
