Good Trouble

Call Speaker Mike Johnson‬ and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to let them know you are horrified at the anti-Muslim rhetoric coming from Republican members right now - it is cruel and irresponsible. And the fact that Republican leadership hasn’t yet condemned them is appalling. Please ask the Speaker/Leader to do so immediately. Thanks

Speaker Mike Johnson at ‭(202) 225-4000‬ 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune at (202) 224-2321
