Indivisibles,

Last night, President Elon Musk allowed Trump to make a joint address to
Congress and the nation, and reinforced what we already knew: Trump is a
corrupt megalomaniac who is running our country to the ground.

He celebrated mass firings in the federal workforce and pledged to destroy
agencies that keep our country safe. He spread outrageous lies about
Social Security and the war in Ukraine. He continued his hateful tirades
targeting immigrants and trans people. And without any trace of irony, he
declared that "The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over," while
Musk looked on from the galley. 

And Republicans in Congress cheered him on at every opportunity. They have
abandoned their responsibility to uphold our constitution and serve their
constituents because they’re all in on the Trump-Musk agenda: looting the
government for the ultra-rich and making working families pay the price. 

The only moments of hope throughout Trump’s speech were from Democrats who
fearlessly disrupted business as usual. From [ [link removed] ]Rep. Melanie Stansbury to
[ [link removed] ]Rep. Al Green to all those who [ [link removed] ]joined mass walkouts during the
speech, these leaders refused to let his authoritarian agenda go
unchallenged.  

Their courage must inspire us now. Congress is heading home for recess
next week, from March 15 through March 23, and Republicans are already
announcing they’ll be hiding from constituents. Our goals: Make every
Republican own their complicity and demand accountability, and support
every Democrat committed to fighting against the Trump-Musk coup.

[ [link removed] ]Our Musk or Us March Recess toolkit provides everything you need to
call on every Democrat and Republican to host an in-person town hall while
they’re home for recess -- or organize an empty chair town hall if they’re
too cowardly to face their own constituents.

How to plan your March recess event:

📞 Find out if your Member of Congress (MoC) is holding a town
hall. Check their website, sign up for their newsletter, follow their
social media, and [ [link removed] ]check our Mobilize map -- see if they have
advertised a town hall anywhere. If you find one, [ [link removed] ]let us know here.
If not, call their office and demand they host one. 

* [ [link removed] ]Call Senate Republicans -- If they’re gutting Medicaid and Social
Security, they should say it to your face.
* [ [link removed] ]Call House Republicans -- They’re looting the government for
billionaires. Make them explain why.
* [ [link removed] ]Call Senate Democrats -- They must hold the line against extreme
MAGA cuts and demand real guardrails to protect against the
Trump-Musk coup.
* [ [link removed] ]Call House Democrats -- They need to hear from us. No deals. No
blank checks. No business as usual.

🪑 If they refuse, [ [link removed] ]hold an empty chair town hall. If we don’t hear
from our Republican MoCs, we’ll make sure they hear from us. Empty chair
town halls are opportunities to publicize how craven they are at a time
when they are attempting to gut Medicaid to line the pockets of their
billionaire friends. You can even invite a Democratic MoC from a nearby
district to participate. Need inspiration? Indivisibles in Minnesota
[ [link removed] ]just held a packed empty chair town hall for their missing
Republican Rep. Emmer, with hundreds in attendance.   

📜 [ [link removed] ]Check out our recess demands. Familiarize yourself with what we
hope to get out of a town hall right now, sample questions to ask, and
what’s most important to emphasize based on whether you are represented
by a Republican or a Democrat.

💻 [ [link removed] ]Register your town hall or empty chair town hall on Mobilize so
that people in your community can find it and join. Strategize about who
will speak, who will record, and how you will share those videos
afterwards.

No kings. No billionaires running our government. No sitting back while
Trump and Musk try to seize total control. Let’s show up, get loud, and
make them answer for it.
