Hey John!
You're one of Women's March's most active volunteers, so we wanted to be sure you didn't miss out on a huge effort we're proud to be a part of: Recovery Recess.
So, what is a recess anyway? The upcoming recess for Congress is a time when members and senators return to their districts to hear directly from the people they represent. As we heard on our amazing webinar on Tuesday night, we want to harness this critical time to make women's voices heard about passing meaningful legislation to recover from this crisis — urgent priorities like a $15 minimum wage, universal childcare, and national paid leave for all.
That's where Women's Marchers like you come in, John. We need as many people as possible to show up to Congressional offices across the country during this upcoming Recovery Recess. Here are two ways you can get involved:
1. Host a Special Delivery action on April 7—9.
We want you to host your own Special Delivery action at one of your local members of Congress' offices. The goal of this specially-designed Women's March action is to say loud and clear to our members of Congress that we need them to take the need for real recovery as seriously as Women's March does. How will we send our message? Together, Women's Marchers will deliver bouquets with a very important message: "Roses are red. Violets are blue. Fight hard for real recovery, or we will primary you!" The rest of the event is up to you! Sign up to host your own WM Special Delivery action.
2. Attend a Recovery Recess event near you.
Not up to hosting your own event just yet, but still want to attend? No problem! There are Recovery Recess events happening in cities across the country. Take a look at this map of events, and sign up to attend the one closest to you — and don't forget to bring a friend! Sign up to attend a Recovery Recess event happening near you.
This upcoming Recovery Recess is a shared megaphone. Together with our partners like Working Families Party, MoveOn.org, and Showing Up For Racial Justice, we at Women's March are saying loud and clear to our elected leaders: No excuses. No complacency. We want full recovery and we need transformational solutions.
Thank you for taking action and showing up.
