At the State of the Union (SOTU), Republicans in Congress are once again bending the knee to Trump and hanging their constituents out to dry. Nobody should participate in Trump’s vanity project, and that’s why Democratic leaders, MoveOn members, and everyday Americans most impacted by Trump’s chaos are coming together for the People’s State of the Union.

President Trump has spent the first year of his administration making lives worse for Americans: slashing health care, sending masked ICE agents to murder our neighbors, and passing tax cuts for the Epstein class. We cannot give Trump the attention he wants, or validate his lies to the American people. We cannot treat this SOTU like business as usual.

Join MeidasTouch and MoveOn as we present the People’s State of the Union alongside elected officials, partners, allies and directly impacted Americans.

In person at 3rd St. between Jefferson and Madison on the National Mall or livestream.
