Washington, D.C. Statement from MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting on tonight’s State of the Union address by President Biden:

“Tonight, the American people heard President Biden detail the hard-fought progress of the last two years to build an economy that works for everyone, defend our democracy, 

lower unemployment, and rebuild our nation from the pandemic. On everything from making health care more affordable to fighting climate change and protecting Social Security and Medicare, the president shared a bold, people-first playbook to finish the job and deliver for the American people. 

“MoveOn’s millions-strong membership base is firmly behind President Biden and the priorities that the Biden/Harris administration are fighting for. We are committed to upholding and defending our democracy, protecting the progress and freedoms we have earned together, and preventing MAGA right-wing extremists from taking us backward.”

###

MoveOn is a people-powered force for progress. MoveOn mobilizes the left to elect Democrats and enact progressive change. We are the home base for millions of members who refuse to accept the status quo and are moved to take action. For more than a generation, MoveOn has been a bulwark against the radical right, channeling our voices to end wars, protect democracy, and advance justice for all.
