What can you do right now?
Make your voice heard!
To date Bill Huizenga has REFUSED to host a town hall, despite countless requests to do so. Keep the pressure up!
Now when you call the main US switchboard and ask for Huizenga to share feedback, they direct you to their website.
Please direct your snail-mail accordingly!

4 Suggested Actions
1
Tell your Democratic representative to hold the line in the government funding battle. The government will shut down on Friday night unless Congress can pass a spending bill. Democrats came to the table with a simple demand: Guardrails to ensure that the funding allocated by Congress is actually spent -- and not frozen by Trump, Musk and the DOGE kids. Instead, Republicans put forward a partisan bill that actually gives Trump and Musk MORE discretion to use taxpayer funds however they choose. No Democrat should vote for this bill. If you’re in a blue district, call your representative today (calls are best, but you can also use this tool to send an email).
2
Tell your Democratic senator(s) to hold the line, too. If this bill makes it through the House, there will be a lot of pressure on Senate Democrats to vote for it. But amidst this constitutional crisis, Dems should be doing everything possible to STOP Trump and Musk’s assault on our government -- not greenlighting legislation that gives them more power to choose which programs to fund or starve of resources. Tell your Democratic senator(s) that now is the time to take a stand.
3
Tell your Republican representative to face their constituents this recess. After all they’ve done to enable the Trump-Musk coup and amidst their efforts to slash Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires, we understand why Republican representatives are scared to hold town halls. At this point, GOP leaders are outright instructing their members to stay invisible. Let your Republican representative know you’re watching -- and remind them they work for you.
4
Regardless of who represents you, get ready for the Musk or Us recess. A shutdown could change the schedule slightly, but every Member of Congress is currently expected to be returning to their states and districts from March 15-23. This is an opportunity to hold Republicans accountable for the lawless chaos we’re enduring, and to demand Democrats fight back. Our toolkit, linked above, has all the info you need to make the most of the recess and you can sign up here for updates on town halls and other events near you.
We initially thought we’d have about 20-30 people at our first meeting, but around 200 showed up. Thank you all for taking the time to join us!
