Pittsburgh public town hall

The week of February 18–26 is the first congressional recess of the 115th Congress and, for many of us, the first opportunity as constituents to speak directly with our members of Congress. This is the perfect time to ask the questions that we, as constituents, deserve answers to and to demonstrate, in no uncertain terms, that tolerance of Trump's hateful agenda is unacceptable and politically toxic.

That's why we're declaring this congressional recess "Resistance Recess: Save Our Healthcare, Our Communities, and Our Democracy."

We will show up at our elected officials' events, town halls, and other public appearances to make it clear to those who represent us in Congress, as well as to the media, that tolerance of the Trump Administration’s hurtful policies is intolerable, that indifference or idleness is not acceptable, that complacency is politically toxic.

Will you join fellow constituents and attend a Resistance Recess action?
