A host of Hollywood celebrities are planning to attend a People’s State of the Union protest as a ‘public alternative’ to President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address.
Mark Ruffalo, Lee Daniels, Michael Moore, Alyssa Milano and Whoopi Goldberg are among the A-listers who will attend the evening of speeches and music in New York in what is being billed as a way to celebrate the ‘resistance’ movement against Trump.
The star-studded event is set to take place Monday night, the day before Trump’s speech at the Town Hall, which is the historic venue in Manhattan founded as a meeting spot for suffragists more than 90 years ago.
‘In essence it’s a better reflection of our state of the union based on a more populist point of view, based on the people’s point of view,’ Ruffalo told People.
‘I think it’s important because we have a president who has a difficult time with the truth, who has a radical, divisive agenda, and spends an enormous amount of time focusing on the negative and hopelessness and despair.
‘We want to celebrate this moment that we’re in of what is now probably one of the most influential and powerful and really beautiful movements to come into play in the United States since the civil rights movement.’
He added that the event was ‘a celebration of the power and the beauty of this movement, but also of our accomplishments and to focus on what’s to come in the immediate future.’
Among those slated to perform at the protest are Andra Day and Common, who will sing their Grammy- and Oscar-nominated song Stand Up for Something from the film Marshall.
