Congress is going into a 2-week recess next week. While they're heading back to their home states, the advocacy does not stop! NRHA is excited to share our newest advocacy resource, our rural health in-district advocacy toolkit, to help guide your advocacy and engage your Members of Congress when they return from D.C. to their home states and districts.

Spring Recess Dates:

• Senate Recess: March 28, 2026 to April 12, 2026
• House Recess: March 28, 2026 to April 13, 2026
  
  

Inside the toolkit you'll find guidance on finding your members of Congress and understanding the importance of leveraging their committee assignments, identifying district-level congressional events you can attend, and engaging with your Member of Congress via a meeting, email, or social media. The toolkit also provides template emails that you can utilize for your outreach as well as our 2026 rural health advocacy talking points and other NRHA advocacy materials that can assist you in your in-district advocacy as well.
