Looking for an Alternative to State of the Union?

Skip the political theater and join the movement. ✊

Instead of the usual choreographed pomp and circumstance, MoveOn and MeidasTouch are coming together. They will host the “People’s State of the Union”. This is a live alternative that centers the voices of everyday Americans rather than Washington insiders.


📅 Event Details:

  • When: February 24, 2026
  • Time: 8:30 p.m. ET (Starts just before the official address)
  • Hosts: Joy Reid and Katie Phang
  • Where to Watch: MoveOn.org/Live or the MeidasTouch YouTube channel

Why Tune In?

  • Real Stories: Hear directly from people impacted by the administration’s policies on healthcare, immigration, and the economy.
  • Direct Accountability: Progressive leaders and members of Congress will be skipping the official State Of The Union. This includes Senators Ed Markey and Chris Murphy. They will offer a real-time, honest reflection on the state of our democracy.
  • Action-Oriented: This isn’t just a speech; it’s a rally to organize and mobilize for the 2026 midterms.

Don’t let the noise drown out the truth. RSVP now and be part of the conversation that actually matters.
