Every couple months, members of Congress go on “recess,” returning to their home states and districts. Both members of the House of Representatives and the Senate use these periods to engage with voters, hold town halls and public events, conduct in-district legislative meetings, and make themselves available to their constituents.The next Congressional recess is currently scheduled for: March 17-21, 2025.
March 17 is also the 45th anniversary of the signing of the bipartisan Refugee Act into law, legislation that formalized and codified the modern U.S. refugee and asylum systems – and which remains the law of the land. The upcoming recess period is a vital moment to take action and ensure your voice is heard.
