June 14 would become a paid day off for most federal employees under a new holiday called "Trump's Birthday and Flag Day." The bill adds it to the existing federal holiday list without removing or changing any current holidays. States and private employers would not be required to observe it.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day Holiday Establishment Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Latest action on H.R. 1395: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Who this affects: The bill mainly affects federal government employees and agencies. Most federal workers would get an extra paid day off, and most federal offices would close on June 14. People who rely on federal services, like mail delivery or in-person government office visits, could see delays on that day. Private employers and state governments are not required to follow the federal holiday list.
Why this matters: Adding a new federal holiday changes work schedules and operations for millions of federal employees and the agencies that serve the public. It could also influence how widely June 14 is recognized across the country. The choice to name the holiday after a specific recent president, combined with Flag Day, makes this a politically significant proposal that goes beyond a simple scheduling change.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
