#TrumpShutdown | Accountability Guidance

To win the next showdown over a shutdown, we must hold our targets accountable

__________________________________________________________________

Congress has a moral obligation to ensure that Trump’s divisive political stunt doesn’t continue to disrupt the programs that protect our kids’ health and the great outdoors for future generations. The 35-day Trump shutdown cost the economy approximately $3 billion, kept public servants from their jobs safeguarding our health, and did irreversible damage to our national parks. To avoid the next shutdown and position our campaign for a win, we have three essential opportunities:

1. Hold Republican Senate targets accountable for the damage caused by the shutdown

2. Support our champions and incoming freshman in the House, and

3. Pressure conferees to not fund an unnecessary border wall

For those that can't wait, the entire toolkit can be found here. Today, we are focused on the second ask:

The most important question for [@TARGET] is whether they will again allow Donald Trump to hold families’ income hostage for his useless border wall. The answer is abundantly clear: NO BORDER WALL! #DefundHate
