Congressional Courage Campaign - Volunteer (Cedar Rapids, IA)

The Congressional Courage Campaign is a national, nonpartisan initiative bringing ordinary people together to urge their representatives to stand up for all of us, not just the powerful few.

This campaign calls on Members of Congress to:

• Hold the Executive Branch accountable for corruption and abuses of power
• Uphold and defend the Constitution by reclaiming Congress’s authority over federal budgets, tariffs, and other powers granted to Congress alone
• Represent their constituents, not their pocketbooks, not the president, and not special interests
