ALTERNATIVES TO THE SOTU ADDRESS:

(starting) 7:00 p.m. EST “State of the Swamp”
At the National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
Lots of celebrity guests will speak. Live streaming event.

(starting) 8:00 p.m. EST “People’s State of the Union”
Sponsored by moveon.org
Lots of lawmakers who will boycott Trump’s speech will participate. Live streaming event.

It's quite possible that one or both of these will also be broadcast on PBS and/or C-SPAN.
