Donald Trump announces his speech on the State of the Union this past Tuesday. While actress and activist Alyssa Milano will present what she calls: “resist and persist in counterprogramming.”
New initiative that promises not to be forgotten
The digital initiative that actress Milano has started “State of the Dream” will present concise 60-second videos. In which the American population will describe their dreams for the country. The videos will be published on Twitter and other social networks simultaneously at 6 p.m. At the same time when President Trump begins his address.
“#StateOfTheDream will highlight what truly makes the United States great. That we come from many places, races, and creeds. Together we work for a perfect union,” writes Milano on an instruction sheet that the actress tweeted this morning. “Our #StateOfTheDream digital address will support our dreamers and immigrants. Call a DREAM Act, support the Senate, raise funds for United We Dream and express our vision of a more inclusive and progressive United States.”
State of the Dream
Milano, who also helped to make the popular movement #MeToo by Tarana Burke, says that everyone can publish a video. She encourages all those who seek political office to participate. After the initial video explosion, collaborators can continue “the unifying tweetstorm” by publishing with the hashtag “StateOfTheDream.”
Alyssa Milano announces that it will launch a toolkit by January 30th.
This project initiated by the actress will continue to live the event of the State of the Union for the people in the city hall of New York, meeting in which will attend progressive organizations like MoveOn.org, We Stand United, Stand Up America, People For The American Way, among many others. Also attending celebrities such as Mark Ruffalo, John Leguizamo, Whoopi Goldberg, Andra Day Common, Wanda Sykes, Michael Moore, Zoe Kravitz, Kathy Najimy, Cynthia Nixon, Rosie Perez and Fisher Stevens.
The event is described as “a public and hopeful alternative to Trump’s State of the Union,”. An action plan for next year will be released focusing on voter rights, voter registration and voter turn off.
The program that will feature Donald Trump will be broadcast live on his Facebook page.

We will see all these stars gathered in the place where the suffragists met in the 1920s. The performances in this act go hand in hand with Andra Day and rapper Common, with the song “Stand Up for Something” of the biographical film “Marshall”, which deals with former Supreme Court judge Thurgood Marshall.
Mark Ruffalo giving his opinion
Actor Mark Ruffalo is a progressive critic of Trump, claiming in People magazine that: “I think it’s important because we have a president who has a difficult time with the truth. Who has a radical and divisive agenda and spends a great deal of time focusing on the negative, despair and despair. “
The director of this campaign, Julia Walsh also said: “We are all going to work together in all the different movements to make sure that we win the Congress again in 2018. Keeping this president under control.”
“She is the mother of all movements,” said Ruffalo.
This movement starts on the right foot, in this 2018 where nothing is written yet.
