Rep. Rashida Tlaib is expected to give sharp criticisms of Republicans and conservative Democrats in Congress who have blocked progress on issues like lowering the cost of prescription drugs, addressing the climate crisis and decreasing child poverty.
Progressives are planning to counter President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on March 1 with a speech highlighting roadblocks caused by conservative Democrats and ways that the country can move forward in pursuing the Democratic agenda.
“The overarching goal for the Working Families Party and for the congresswoman is to recenter Build Back Better, is to remind our base and remind our folks on the Hill in Congress, that this is so much more than just the President’s legislative agenda,” Natalia Salgado, Director of Federal Affairs at WFP, toldThis will be the fifth time that WFP has countered the president’s State of the Union address with a progressive angle.
Tlaib is expected to emphasize that Democrats can do more to pass proposals like the Green New Deal and to address issues like gun violence – but it’s crucial for more progressives to be elected to office so that the passage of such bills isn’t obstructed by a vocal minority of conservative Democrats.
