“The official State of the Union will be filled with empty promises and misinformation, but the State of the People is our answer—a 24-hour livestream elevating the voices that truly reflect our community’s needs,” says Angela Rye, one of the organizers of StateOfThePeople.media. “It’s time for all of us to take a stand. Join us as we uplift the issues that matter, demand accountability for the harm caused and chart a path forward where we can thrive,” she adds.
