A campaign to impeach President Donald Trump announced on Monday it will hold house parties in more than 500 communities across the U.S. the weekend before President’s Day to pressure Congress to remove him from office.

“Americans across the country are sending a clear message to members of Congress: we’ve had enough,” Tom Steyer, a Democratic billionaire who founded the Need to Impeach campaign, said of the new Party to Impeach initiative planned at big cities and small towns on February 17.

“Our elected leaders in Washington D.C. can no longer neglect their Constitutional obligation to remove this unfit President from office,” Steyer stated in an emailed press release. “Their lack of accountability has awakened millions of people to their failure to protect the safety and stability of our country and everyone who lives in it.”

Since Steyer launched the Need to Impeach movement last October on television and social media, more than 4.3 million people have signed a petition demanding Congress to begin proceedings to remove Trump. The campaign is using President’s Day to draw attention to the growing demand.
