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.
