To Resist and Reclaim, Hundreds of Recess Events Planned to Target Lawmakers

[Equinox Moon]

Members of Congress are heading home this weekend amid a high likelihood of encountering angry—and empowered—constituents who are ready to confront them at town halls and other gatherings.

GOP lawmakers in particular (those who don't hide from the people who put them in office, of course) will face difficult questions about past and future votes, as well as demands they hold President Donald Trump accountable.

"Next week's recess is our biggest opportunity yet to make sure that Republicans who side with Trump are held accountable and that Democrats understand that using every single tool at their disposal to block Trump's toxic agenda is not just justified, but absolutely necessary for our democracy—and our most cherished values—to survive the Trump era," said Victoria Kaplan, organizing director for MoveOn.org, which is coordinating a national "Resistance Recess" effort.
