During the August recess, Members of Congress from both parties are hosting town halls, rallies, roundtables, and press conferences in their districts. Many House Democrats are speaking out against the “One Big Beautiful Act,” which would make deep cuts to healthcare, public education, Social Security, and veterans’ benefits.
Why This Matters
These events are opportunities to:
- Ask your lawmakers directly where they stand on the proposed cuts
- Call for a commitment to protect and expand funding for civil legal aid and public defense
- Share your story—using the JustFundIt Campaign Toolkit—about how legal aid, healthcare, education, or social services have shaped your life or community
Get Involved
Attend public events to raise awareness about the One Big Beautiful Act, which:
- Would kick 17 million people off their health care
- Raise premiums, deductibles, and copays
- Force hospital and nursing home closures across the country
