John,
Last night, Philadelphia City Councilmember Nicolas O’Rourke laid out a stirring vision of the nation we’re trying to build together — and a road map for how we plan to get there — in the official 2024 Working Families Party response to President Biden’s State of the Union address.
And here are just a few of the reactions that we’ve been seeing from the thousands of you who tuned in:
“This is where I’m deriving my hope today.”
“Just so the GOP and Katie Britt know, this is how you deliver a response”
“Fantastic #SOTU response from Nicolas O’Rourke 🔥 Let’s block the right and build power for working people ✊
“This is the first time I’ve felt inspired this cycle ❤️🩹 thank you so much for this”
We couldn’t be prouder of Nicolas, more inspired by the vision he articulated, or more motivated to get started right now on the 2024 strategy he laid out for us last night of BLOCKING MAGA and their authoritarian threats while BUILDING our movement to put governing power in the hands of working people.
If you missed Nicolas' address last night, watch it now — and if you’re as inspired as we are, add a donation to help us win in 2024 and keep building political power for working people.

As Nicolas said last night, we already know what it looks like when the MAGA movement holds power. If we needed a reminder, we got one this week when Trump all but clinched the Republican nomination for president.
We know that if the authoritarian right takes control, the consequences will be immediate for our communities, and it will be even harder to build a nation rooted in justice and dignity.
But we also know that blocking the right isn’t enough — and that it never has been.
In 2024, we need to both block AND build. Block the far right, while building the power we need to challenge corporations AND make change in people’s lives.
That’s the strategy that Nicolas laid out last night — now we want to know if you’re in too.
Watch our 2024 SOTU response here and then join thousands of other WFP members by making a donation of any amount to help us block Republicans this year and keep building independent political power for working people.
In solidarity,
WFP Digital Team
