Demand Members of Congress Host Public Town Halls!
House Republican leaders are 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.
Members of Congress are elected to represent the people—they should not be hiding from their constituents. Period.
Congressional Republicans can hide from us and refuse to hold listening events, but together we can make sure our voices are heard and show members of Congress, local journalists, and our fellow constituents how many of us are demanding action.
Demand your members of Congress host town halls this recess. Find a petition below or start your own: moveon.org/petition.

Town Halls in MissouriMissouri is a reliably red state. Nearly all of our leaders in Congress are Republicans so why do they need to do town halls if they know they'll have your vote no matter what? America is under attack. This is not a left vs right or liberal vs conservative. This is farmers, doctors, nurses, police officers, teachers, retail workers, veterans, disabled citizens, every Missouri resident vs those gutting our institutions with no concern. This is corrupt. This is fascistic. This is the rich stealing from right under our noses so we need to have town halls to tell Josh Hawley, Eric Schmitt, and our Representatives in Congress how we feel about what they're allowing to happen. How they're standing aside and giving trillions of dollars in tax cuts that WE, the normal people, will get to pay for. They do what's in their political interests and not their constituents because they know they have your no matter what. Sign this petition. Make them talk to us. Make them answer for what they are and are not doing. They work for Missouri, not Musk.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joe Walsh
