Dear Friend,

It’s showtime! The State of the Union will happen on Tuesday, February 7, 2023, at 9:00 p.m. EST / 6:00 p.m. PST. We’ll be watching with popcorn and MomsRising BINGO cards in hand! How about you?

Are you watching the State of the Union this year? Click to let us know, and take a look at our fun BINGO card!

In order to make watching fun & powerful, we've updated our BINGO card for 2023. Playing BINGO is FUN & helps us track when the issues of greatest concern to women, moms, and families are covered. Let us know if you’re watching, whether it’s just you and your popcorn, or you are hosting a gathering! If you are watching, we’ll share the BINGO card with you so you can play along. If you aren’t, we want to know that too, and we’ll share the card with you in hopes you’ll share it with friends who may be tuning in.

Are you watching the State of the Union this year? When you click, we’ll share the BINGO card so you can use it or share it with friends who might be interested.

We’ll be playing BINGO in real time on Twitter at @MomsRising and @MamasConPoder with the hashtag #CareCantWait, and we hope you join us!

* Here's how it works: Every time one of the issues on the card is mentioned, you can mark it down on the BINGO card — and maybe even raise a juice box or sippy cup in a cheer! This is a great way to have fun watching with kids too! We’ll share on Twitter when we make a mark along with the hashtags #CareCantWait and #SOTU.

We know that not everyone is able to watch! The show begins, after all, at bedtime for a lot of our kids (and some grown-ups too!). We’ll be recapping what happens online in real-time AND afterwards on our blog, Facebook, Instagram. We’ll make sure to let you know if we get a BINGO.

Are you watching the State of the Union this year?

This BINGO card is powerful and reflects the priorities we’re hearing from moms and families across the nation. In fact, many of the squares on the BINGO card represent a priority from our “MomsRising Mandate for America” — a comprehensive, mom-powered policy platform that we’re sharing with every member of Congress.

All of this makes the BINGO card a fun way to track if the issues that are important to women, moms, dads, kids, and families make it onto center stage during the State of the Union. We'll be tracking issues like fair pay, child care, access to health care, fair treatment of immigrant families, gun violence prevention, and other family economic and justice policies. And we'll also be on the watch for standing ovations, laughs, and even scowls! It'll be fun!

Let us know if you are watching - after you click we’ll share the BINGO card:

And don’t forget … you’re invited to play in real time during the speech with us on Twitter and Facebook at @MomsRising and @MamasConPoder at #CareCantWait. If you can’t make it, check us out online after the event to see what happened and whether or not we got a BINGO! 

Have a great weekend!

P.S. We are especially excited for the State of the Union this year because we have several MomsRising members attending as guests of members of Congress. Maybe they’ll wear their MomsRising t-shirts. Keep an eye out!
