Today is the day. It's your time to ACT!
We have one last opportunity before election season to advocate to Congress for additional relief. It is imperative that we amplify this message to Congress over the next three weeks and demand relief for our still-struggling industry. Our new grassroots effort – HotelsACT #SAVEHOTELJOBS – launches today. Every day for the next three weeks. We need your help.
Members of Congress need to know what we need and why. We need you to act – as often as possible – through calls, letters, and social posts. This is one of the last chances we have for real, meaningful legislation before the election.
It is imperative that Members of Congress hear from you.
