Despite calls for them to stay in Washington, D.C. to address President Donald Trump’s unilateral military action in Syria, members of Congress are all but certain to be on recess for the next two weeks—and the resistance plans to hold them accountable on everything from the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch to the ongoing national healthcare debacle to the country’s latest “reckless act of war.”

Just as they did in February, constituents will confront lawmakers at hometown forums (or, if they are missing in action, call them out on their evasiveness) to remind them “that they need to stand up for you—and that means standing up and speaking out against the Trump agenda,” as the Indivisible Guide tells supporters. 

Doing so, say organizers, really works.

“During the first recess period, thousands of you showed up to ask your [members of Congress, or MoCs] hard, vital questions about whether they’ll resist the Trump agenda,” Indivisible continued. “And your hard work is already paying off. You defeated TrumpCare: the Republican plan, seven years in the making, to strip healthcare away from 24 million Americans just three months into the Congressional calendar. No one thought we could do it—but you called, you showed up, and, ultimately, you stopped TrumpCare from becoming law. But we aren’t done yet. We’re just getting started.”

Indeed, declared MoveOn.org, “[a]s Trump remains under investigation and as Congress continues to push Trump’s unconstitutional and dangerous agenda, we must make sure that no one allows the passing of time to normalize this president and his harmful policies.”

MoveOn and other groups are holding a “Ready to Resist” strategy and action call on Sunday night to help “supercharge” this Resistance Recess using lessons learned from the first round.

Indivisible held its own call earlier this month, and has released a series of resources including a document outlining five “policy priorities” for the April recess. Constituents are encouraged to hold lawmakers’ feet to the fire on issues including:

Specifically, Indivisible is urging support for bills in both the House and Senate that propose setting up an independent commission, composed of experts outside of Congress, to examine Russian influence in the 2016 election.
