Use this Script If Your Congressperson was not present

SCRIPT: “I am a constituent of your district and I would like to ask why my Congressperson was not present at the Hearing on Human Rights in South Asia on Tuesday, October 22 held by The House Subcommittee on Asia. As the dire  humanitarian crisis remains in Kashmir in the form of an inhumane communications blockade, detention of thousands including minors, and lack of ground access to international journalists, human rights organizations, and U.S. officials, we urge you to condemn the Indian government’s unprecedented actions in the region and demand an independent investigation of human rights abuses in Kashmir.”
