Based on our Build Anew Policy Agenda, we’ve created the #BuildAnew Bingo card to use during President Biden’s first State of the Union address to Congress to see how well the administration lines up with our Build Anew policy areas.

In February 2021, NETWORK introduced Build Anew: A Justice Agenda for All of Us.
This policy agenda is inspired by the principles of Catholic Social Justice and comes from encounter with individuals and families across the United States.

We hope to see President Biden address these important policy areas to work towards Dismantling Systemic Racism, Cultivating Inclusive Community, Rooting Our Economy in Solidarity, and Transforming Our Politics.

A game to make watching Ursula von der Leyen’s big speech even more fun.

With President Joe Biden set to devote much of his annual State of the Union address to the crisis in Ukraine, it's unclear how much attention he'll give to domestic issues tonight. We'll be listening for any mention of education policy, such as Covid-relief spending, the stalled Build Back Better plan, and college affordability in the speech to Congress. With that in mind, we've retooled our bingo card to reflect the new reality of today's education landscape.

Download the FutureEd bingo card to track the education action. Be sure to tweet when a candidate lands on one of your squares. The hashtag is #SOTUEdBingo. And let us know when you hit bingo. We’re at @FutureEdGU.

It’s time once again for the President of the United States to stand before the American people and deliver his State of the Union address.

The blessed event will occur Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/ 6 p.m. PT SHARP! No exceptions! Biden MUST begin at the predesignated time or Pelosi will instruct security to lock the doors to the floor of the House. Also, Biden will not receive fruit cup.

H&N Hot Tip: Biden will likely be running at least 10 minutes to an hour late. Please plan accordingly.

Let’s Learn About History: The State of the Union Message is usually given once a year in January or February. The President uses the address to talk about important issues facing the American people and offer his ideas on solving the nation’s problems. Nine out of ten times, the problems being discussed were caused by the current President and his political party; however, it is traditional for the President to blame his predecessor.

These speeches are normally a bit dry and boring, but the “Biden element” adds a certain element of tingly anticipation to the event. You never know what you’ll get with Grandpa Joe.

• How many times will he refer to Kamala Harris as “the President?”
• Will he butcher three cliches or four?
• Will the scream/whisper speaking technique make a comeback?
• And what about pants? Will he wear them? And if so, will his underwear be under or over his slacks?

The answers to these exciting questions and more will be revealed Tuesday.

To add to your pleasure, Hammer and Nigel have created a commemorative 2022 edition Biden SOTU Bingo card.
