  Don't Hide From Constituents. Host Town Halls!

  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.  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.

  Demand a Town Hall From Representative Bill Huizenga

  This petition is critical because Representative Huizenga has shown a lack of accountability and disregard for the needs and concerns of his constituents. Rather than representing the people of Michigan's Fourth District, he continues to align himself with an authoritarian president, without considering how this loyalty harms our communities and the nation at large. For nearly eight years, Representative Huizenga has avoided in-person communication with his district, leaving us in the dark about his positions and decisions. He is hiding from his constituents because he is afraid to face the consequences of his actions — and the result is a failure to meet his basic responsibility as our elected representative. Congressional recesses are meant to be an opportunity for representatives to engage with their communities. It is a time for them to listen to the concerns of the people they serve, yet Representative Huizenga continues to avoid these vital conversations, choosing instead to remain loyal to a dangerous political agenda rather than engaging with the people who put him in office. We, the people of Michigan's Fourth District, demand to be heard. We deserve transparency, accountability, and a representative who listens to us — not someone who hides behind closed doors or puts his party loyalty above the needs of his community. This petition is not just about the refusal of a town hall; it's about the responsibility of an elected official to be transparent, accessible, and accountable. We will no longer allow our concerns to be ignored, and we will not allow our representative to turn a blind eye to the harm caused by his actions.

  Congressman Ciscomani: Host a Town Hall this Recess!

  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.  Congressman Ciscomani was elected to represent us—they should not be hiding from their constituents. Period. Earlier this month nearly 150 MoveOn members from Arizona District 6 urged local representatives to host town halls. But we have to keep up the pressure. Add your name to the petition to demand Congressman Ciscomani host a town hall or public office hours during the congressional recess!

  Tom Barrett Must Hear Us to Represent Us

  Earlier this month more than 100+ MoveOn members from Michigan District 7 urged local representatives to host town halls. But we have to keep up the pressure. It is up to us. Each of us must do what we can to hold our political representatives to actually represent the people whom they are elected to serve. Remember: We are all in this experience together.
