The Resistance Needs Your Voice

Tools to participate at a town hall near you

April 2017

Despite doing very little to actually represent the American people, Congress is taking a spring break. But together, we can make sure it’s not a restful one. During the Congressional Recess from April 10 to April 23, the Resistance will rise up to demand action at town halls across the nation.

We will demand our Congresspeople protect our air and water over fossil fuel profits, and defend the agencies and programs put in place to protect our health. Find a town hall near you today. Make sure to share your photos on social media and use the hashtag #ResistOften.
