Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey is among at least a dozen Democratic lawmakers planning to boycott President Trump's State of the Union address.
The lawmakers will skip the speech to attend a rally on the National Mall instead.
Progressive groups MoveOn and MeidasTouch announced they're hosting the "People's State of the Union" rally next Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET.
The event is billed as "counterprogramming" to the president's speech, and organizers said "Democratic lawmakers will be joined on stage by the everyday Americans most impacted by Trump's dangerous agenda."
