Dear Democratic Colleague,
As we enjoy the Holiday Season with loved ones, we are preparing to mark one year since the January 6th assault on the Capitol.
I write to make you aware of the activities that will be held that day. The House will not be in session, but a full program of events is being planned, based on Member input. These events are intended as an observance of reflection, remembrance and recommitment, in a spirit of unity, patriotism and prayerfulness. All events will be live-streamed, so that Members can watch and participate from their districts.
