So we hosted Sleepy Schweikert Snoozefest, a pajama-themed protest to hold Rep. David Schweikert accountable for sleeping through a major vote on the federal budget bill.
Eighty volunteers and community members gathered in their pajamas to write postcards to Schweikert’s office, play Sleepy Schweikert trivia to educate voters on his anti-abortion record, and hear personal testimonies from people who will be directly impacted by Medicaid cuts.
