From Families USA (http://www.familiesusa.org):
Today members of Congress are heading home for President’s Day Recess, extending through next Sunday, February 25. President’s Day Recess is the first week-long recess of the year, making it a great time to check in with your members to let them know you are holding them accountable for their actions on health care in 2018!
Furthermore, Congress has still failed to reinstate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, ended last September by President Trump. Only Congress can end this emergency situation for immigrant youth whose health and well-being are jeopardized by their risk of deportation.
Use our toolkit to take action this recess to protect health care and defend the Dreamers!
