WAIT, WHY IS THE NIGHT’S THEME “FROGS”?

Last year, Trump labeled U.S. PROTESTERS as “terrorists” and sent troops into American cities.

PEOPLE RESPONDED BY CONFRONTing TRUMP’S FORCES face-to-face… PEACEFULLY DRESSED IN FROG SUITS.

THE FROG HAS NOW BECOME A SYMBOL OF THE DEFIANCE.

You’re invited to…

join us for THE REAL STATE OF THE UNION event

Opposition figures, current & former elected officials, celebrities, and other leaders will gather to tell the TRUTH and to counter Donald Trump’s lies. They’ll lay out how Trump’s historic abuses of power have put American democracy on the brink — and how we fight back, together.

What to expect:

  • Hundreds of attendees in green outfits and/or frog attire

  • Live counter-addresses & truth telling

  • Music, visuals, and satire

  • National press presence

  • Actions you can take the next morning

We will laugh.
We will defy.
We will be impossible to ignore.
