Demand that your Members of Congress hold a town hall NOW!
We are calling on our members of Congress to engage with their constituents and hold regular town halls. While we have seen some of our Representatives take initiative with this, we need to see more. Even if your Representative is has been holding town halls, we urge you to send a letter just to encourage them to keep it up. Of course, you can always personalize to acknowledge any actions they have taken.
Send a letter to your Senators and Representative asking them to hold a town hall so that they can hear our concerns and so they can hear us when we tell them that they need to do more.
A lot more.
We need our members of Congress speaking out every hour of every day, decrying the actions of Trump and Elon Musk. We need them flooding the airwaves with the message that Trump and Musk are violating the Constitution and hurting your family and, if they aren't stopped, Congress is going to lose their ability to check Trump's power.
If you are in Illinois, use this form to send a letter to your members of Congress and we encourage you to personalize it as you see fit. If you like, tell your story of what you fear most by the actions already taken!
—---------------------
I am writing you and your office to ask that you hold in-person town halls regularly, with notice, and in-person when possible. As your constituent, you are my voice in Washington. I want to hear from you and have you hear from me. If you elect to hold a virtual town hall while out of district, please ensure that the format allows you to hear your constituents and answer our questions.
What President Trump and Elon Musk are doing - denying federal funds, cutting USAID, threatening the Department of Education - is a clear violation of the Constitution. They are attempting to take your power - Congress's power to make the budget and allocate spending - and make it their own. We need you to speak, every hour of every day, against these actions and then join us in a town hall where you can hear our concerns. I am not going to stay silent about this ongoing coup and you can't stay silent either.
In addition to this, every day President Trump signs a new Executive Order attacking the rights of immigrants, of people of color, and of members of the LGBTQ community, especially the transgender community. For all these reasons, we need to hear from you.
Please hold a town hall as soon as possible and widely publicize when and where.
