Official Daily Action for Wednesday, March 5
This post will reach you the morning after Trump’s joint address to Congress. We urgently need Democrats to wrest the bully pulpit back from Trump and make noise on DOGE and funding cuts. To that end, we are asking our WA delegation to hold town halls both in their home districts AND in neighboring Republican districts that aren’t their own, where vulnerable Republicans may be avoiding their constituents. The following action comes from Indivisible National:

More from Indivisible:
“House Republicans just voted for a budget proposal that would kick millions off of Medicaid, food assistance, housing, and other lifesaving programs to fund tax breaks to make the richest even richer. Now, they need to actually figure out how to turn their unconscionable plan into reality — and hope that voters in their districts are too distracted to realize they’ve been sold out so that Trump, Musk, and their billionaire allies can get even richer.
We have a limited window of time to mobilize constituents and ramp up the pressure on Republicans until they’re forced to back down. Indivisibles are gearing up for the next Congressional recess (March 15-23) to make Republicans pay a political price for this vote, but we need Democrats to commit to holding public actions as well:
-First, we’re calling on them to host local town halls to demonstrate to their constituents that they’re doing everything they can to block, obstruct and disrupt Republicans’ plans to ram through the Trump Tax Scam.
-In addition to hosting their own town hall, we’re also asking Dem representatives to call out Republican MoC in a neighboring district, and Dem senators to target Republican districts within their state, by adopting these districts and taking part in an empty chair town hall.
Send your email now and urge your Democratic Member of Congress to show up and take action with us during the March recess.”
