Next week, Congress returns to Washington to start tackling a long list of tasks. Will the federal government remain funded after September? What relief will be provided for the Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts? Can our elected leaders successfully tackle the complexities of tax code reform?

Though Congress has yet to secure any major legislative achievements this year, President Trump has signed 50+ bills into law since his inauguration. With plenty of legislative efforts at play, more laws will be passed before the end of the year that could directly affect you and your family.

Before recess comes to an end, read up on a few legislative efforts that are being powered by petitions on Change.org but may not be on your radar.

You’ll read about folks like Robert, whose campaign has pushed for investments in our nation’s infrastructure since the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. He believes Congressional action is necessary to protect public health and prevent similar crises in other towns and cities before it’s too late. If you agree, sign his petition here.

Lawmaker and media attention will likely focus on the big ticket items this fall, including the important work to help Gulf Coast residents recover from Hurricane Harvey. You can bring greater public attention to these causes right now by lending your signature and ongoing support.

Thank you,
