National Day of Action: How to Visit Your Local Congressional Office Effectively
We’re asking everyone to visit your Congressional Representative’s local office — not the one in Washington, D.C. Every representative has an open-door policy for constituents in at least one local office.
Today is our National Day of Action for the Removal Coalition.
We’re asking everyone to visit your Congressional Representative’s local office — not the one in Washington, D.C. Every representative has an open-door policy for constituents in at least one local office. Google their name and “district office” to find the one near you.
Whether your representative leans MAGA or not doesn’t matter — your voice does. Showing up in person proves that voters in their district are paying attention and demanding accountability. This year, every conversation counts.
Preparing for Your Visit
• Dress professionally. Business casual or business attire is ideal. Think slacks, button-down shirts, or a simple blazer.
• Bring identification. Have your ID or a document with your home address to confirm you’re a constituent.
• Carry your message. Print one page summarizing your main talking points and contact information to leave behind.
• Stay calm and courteous. Firmness and respect go further than anger or argument.
At the Office: Decorum and Tone
• Smile, introduce yourself clearly, and thank the staff for their time.
• Keep your comments short — two or three minutes at most.
• Maintain eye contact and a steady tone. Don’t rush, but don’t linger either.
• If staff push back, simply restate your message and emphasize that you’re a voter.
• Before leaving, thank them again and ask politely that your message be shared with the representative directly.
When you speak, stay concise and grounded in concrete actions, not insults. Here is language you can use or adapt.
Kristi Noem – Secretary of Homeland Security
I am calling for the impeachment and removal of Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, because her leadership over DHS and ICE has escalated abuses and weakened basic oversight.
Under her watch, DHS is expanding immigration detention capacity toward a goal of detaining up to a million people, despite well‑documented reports of sexual abuse, medical neglect, physical violence, and solitary confinement in existing ICE facilities. She has supported policies that restrict congressional oversight visits to these detention centers by imposing advance‑notice requirements that courts have already found inconsistent with the law, even after an ICE shooting of a woman in Minneapolis raised urgent questions about use of force.
And under Secretary Noem, people like Renee Good are treated as collateral damage in an enforcement machine that has replaced due process with raids, detention, and deadly force. Her experience stands for countless families who now see DHS and ICE as a source of fear instead of protection.
This pattern shows a department that shields ICE from accountability while threatening the due process, civil liberties, and human rights of immigrants and even U.S. citizens. Congress should not tolerate a Homeland Security Secretary who treats transparency and lawful oversight as “publicity stunts” instead of core democratic safeguards.
Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defense
I am also calling for the impeachment and removal of Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, because his conduct endangers both U.S. troops and civilians and erodes trust in the military.
Hegseth has pushed chaotic restructuring schemes at the Pentagon that alienate senior military leaders, concentrate power in his office, and have forced Congress to write special reporting requirements into defense law because they do not trust his judgment. He has been accused by Pentagon investigators of mishandling classified information by using personal encrypted messaging apps like Signal to share sensitive attack plans, putting operations and service members at risk.
In addition, his aggressive posture on controversial “boat strike” operations and public contempt for experienced commanders feed a culture that is more loyal to partisan politics than to the laws of war, military ethics, or the Constitution. That is unacceptable for someone in charge of the Department of Defense.
Donald Trump – escalation and foreign attacks
Finally, I support impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump for reckless military escalation abroad. He has ordered or green‑lit operations against Venezuela and Syria and now openly threatens military action against Greenland, a territory of NATO ally Denmark, over territorial and resource ambitions. These threats undermine the NATO principle that an attack on one ally is an attack on all, and they risk dragging the United States into wider conflict purely for his personal and political goals.
I also want you to remember Renee Good, whose story shows what these decisions look like on the ground. Families like hers are living with the fear and fallout of Trump’s attacks and constant threats of new wars, not as headlines, but as daily instability and trauma in their communities.
After You Leave
Post a calm, factual update on social media:
“Visited Rep. Name’s office today to urge support for accountability and removal. Proud to stand with others nationwide for the National Day of Action.”
Email or call the office again within 48 hours to follow up.
Encourage at least two friends to make their own visits — momentum grows through repetition.
