Trump and his billionaire allies are waging war on working people, John. They’re slashing services so many of us rely on, trying to gut Medicaid, attacking fundamental rights, and funneling even more wealth and power to the ultra-rich — while millions struggle just to afford rent, food, and health care.
And next week, Trump will stand before Congress and lie to the American people — spinning his cruel agenda and attacks on our communities as if they’re making us stronger. But we won’t be fooled. His policies are devastating working families while rigging the system for the elite.
That’s why, before he takes the stage, we’re taking the truth to the people.
On Tuesday, March 4th, at 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PT, Congresswoman Lateefah Simon (CA-12) will deliver the official Working Families Party Response to Donald Trump’s first six weeks in office — right before he addresses a joint session of Congress.

For Rep. Lateefah Simon, this fight is personal, John. She’s not a career politician — she’s an organizer, a mother, and a leader who has spent her life fighting for justice because she’s lived the struggles so many families face.
Born legally blind and raised in public housing in San Francisco, Lateefah became a mom at 19, juggling school, work, and the daily hustle of trying to make ends meet. She spent years as an ordinary transit rider, rushing to catch the BART train after dropping her daughter off at school — watching firsthand as working people struggled just to get where they needed to go. That’s what fueled her to run for the BART Board of Directors, where she fought for affordable, accessible transit for all — and it’s what drives her now as a member of Congress.
Her story is one of resilience — and action. And right now, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Join us on March 4th at 8:30 PM ET/ 5:30 PM PT to hear Rep. Lateefah Simon lay out a vision for a government that works for all of us — not just the few. Sign up now or text SOTU to 30403 to be part of this moment.
