Attend a May Recess Town Hall

The House of Representatives is in recess from May 22nd to June 2nd while the Senate will be in recess from May 22nd 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.

A number of concerning issues are currently worthy of direct discussion with your representatives:

• The use of taxpayer money for Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund and White House ballroom
• The ongoing unauthorized war with Iran creating drastic price hikes
• New data centers draining local water and energy supplies and creating health hazards
• Congressional Republicans’ push for $70 billion in additional ICE and CBP funding
• The urgent need for new voting rights legislation and fair maps

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 and ensuring that they hear their constituents’ needs and concerns. 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.
