This Tuesday night, March 4, 2025, the League of Women Voters of New Jersey and local New Jersey Leagues join the League of Women Voters of the United States and other nonpartisan, pro-democracy organizations across the country hosting rallies that bring people together in reflection, action, and solidarity during the President’s State of the Union Address to Congress.
“Instead of tuning in to the State of the Union Address, we are bringing people together with a call for hope and action. No matter our differences, we are united by our shared belief in freedom, justice, and the promise of a government that serves all of us,” said Debbie McComber, vice president of the LWV of NJ.
New Jersey’s hour-long virtual gathering in support of the health of American democracy will start at 8:30. Sign up for the virtual event here.
