Attend a May Recess Town Hall to Oppose Passage of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" Act
The House of Representatives is in recess from May 23rd to June 2nd with the Senate joining them in recess from May 24th to - June 1st. This time is allotted for members of Congress to work in their districts and engage with their constituents. It is also the perfect time for them to hold public town halls and hear their constituents’ concerns live and in person.
Your representatives work for you. You should have and insist on regular, frequent opportunities to discuss their positions, platforms, and how their legislative agendas will affect you and those close to you. Town halls are a critical tool for holding representatives accountable for their actions (good and bad!) and ensuring that they hear their constituents’ needs and concerns.
Take the opportunity during this recess period to speak to your members of Congress. Attend a scheduled town hall, or if your congressional members refuse to hold a town hall, request an in-office meeting to discuss your concerns.
NOTE: Select a local office number to get the most up-to-date town hall schedule information.
