Members of Congress: Hold open and accessible town halls
We deserve to be heard. Hold open and accessible town halls or other public events when you're back home during congressional recess.
Why is this important?
The week of February 18-26 is the first congressional recess of the 115th Congress, and for many of us, the first opportunity since Trump took office to speak directly with our members of Congress--without having to worry about going to voicemail.
This is the perfect time to ask the questions that we, as constituents, deserve answers to and to demonstrate that tolerance of Trump's attacks on our health care, our communities, and our democracy are unacceptable and politically toxic.
Already, we have seen a tremendous response at town halls--including over a thousand attendees at Rep. Chaffetz's event in Utah--but now members of Congress are running scared. Many members aren't planning to hold public events to hear from their constituents during the upcoming recess.
It's our elected officials jobs to hear from and represent us, their constituents. Will you call on your elected officials to represent their constituents and hold a town hall or other public event, and pledge to attend to make your voice heard?
