Dear Andra,
Because of you, our work broke through in a big way.
As one of MoveOn's dedicated donors, your support helped power our People's State of the Union—our counterprogramming event that led to the largest organized congressional boycott of a presidential State of the Union address in American history. Our event featured 35 members of Congress, lifted up the people directly impacted by the harms of the Trump administration, drew national media attention from every single major national outlet and cable and broadcast program, and reached millions of people across the country. Your generosity helped create a national stage for the real story of the first year of life under an authoritarian regime, not Trump's lies.

Over the past few weeks, national media outlets across the country covered our organizing, our message, and our People's State of the Union. That kind of visibility doesn't happen by accident—it happens because donors like you make bold, people-powered action possible.
The People's State of the Union was not just an event—it dominated the national conversation. On the same night as Trump's address, the media spotlight shifted to the people.
Coverage didn't stop there. Local TV stations, radio shows, and newspapers across the country—from Vermont to Florida to Arizona—shared the story with their audiences. International outlets also picked it up, showing that this moment resonated far beyond Washington. From cable news and radio to international press, hundreds of stories helped ensure that when Trump was actively lying and spreading hate, America also heard directly from the people most affected by his agenda.
Media outlets shared our message with millions of people across the country, amplifying the voices of working people, immigrants, federal workers, and frontline communities.
Here's what your support helped achieve:
Coverage in top national outlets, including The New York Times, Reuters, Politico, USA Today, and The Hill
More than 169 media stories highlighting our work and our values
Over 4 million views of the People's State of the Union and related coverage
National attention on our call for accountability, democracy, and real solutions for working people
Why this matters
Media coverage like this doesn't happen by accident. It happens because donors like you invest in bold ideas, strong organizing, and rapid response when it matters most.
Your support helped …
elevate people's voices during a nationally watched political moment,
ensure the People's State of the Union couldn't be ignored or dismissed, and
shift the conversation from political theater to real issues affecting families and communities.
Simply put: Your generosity helped put people—not politics—at the center of the national spotlight.
