March For Our Lives TOWN HALLS April 7th.
The students and communities who support stricter gun legislation are encouraging citizens to call and arrange town halls in your district on April 7th (before they head back to DC). They organized a site with help from Town Hall Project (Town Hall For Our Lives).
These young people are getting people registered to vote and are going through the legislative process for change and on April 7, theyre calling for every member of Congress to hold a town hall.

If your local legislator refuses to come for whatever reason, simply invite their opponent, Hogg told us. It's as simple as that.

Town Hall Project empowers constituents across the country to have face-to-face conversations with their elected representatives. We are campaign veterans and first time volunteers. We come from a diversity of backgrounds and live across the country. We share progressive values and believe strongly in civic engagement. We research every district and state for public events with members of Congress. Then we share our findings to promote participation in the democratic process.
This movement is diverse, open source, and powered by citizens. We are proud to be a part of it.

(5,043 posts)Students at the HS my son graduated from a few years ago have organized a town hall and invited the Dem and GOP candidates for our congressional district.
My middle school aged daughter perked right up and asked if she can go, so now we are going.

(52,241 posts)The best news was that the Fux Ruse advertisers are stopping ads for Laura Ingram's show after she insulted David Hogg.
These young people are smart and savvy! They knew to go after the advertisers and how to spread the word fast with social media. They are also smart enough to know that her apology was insincere and aren't falling for it from this hate filled "Christian" celebrating Holy Week.
