At least 12 Democratic members of Congress plan to boycott President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address Tuesday.

Here in Illinois, three House Democrats — Bobby Rush, Danny Davis and Jan Schakowsky — are boycotting the speech, Lynn Sweet reported.

Here is a list of lawmakers who said they would not be attending:

CALIFORNIA

Rep. Barbara Lee
Rep. Juan Vargas

.@POTUS continues to disrespect women, insult people of color, and attack our immigrant communities. I will not be attending the State of the Union—I stand in solidarity with all the people he has and continues to disrespect. #SOTU

Rep. Maxine Waters

FLORIDA

Rep. Federica Wilson

I cannot in good consciousness attend the #SOTU address after the president went so low in his remarks about Haiti & African nations. It would be hypocrisy to go to an event at which he is honored.

GEORGIA

Rep. John Lewis

ILLINOIS

Rep. Danny Davis

I will be meeting with constituents tomorrow...here's why.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky

NEW JERSEY

Rep. Albio Sires

NEW YORK

Rep. Gregory Meeks

ICYMI: I announced I will not attend Trump's State of the Union.

He does not respect me or the communities I represent, so I cannot in good conscience sit idly on the House floor and listen to his scripted speech. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/7fDrnB9Mfj

OREGON

Rep. Earl Blumenauer

Since I won't be attending the #SOTU, I'll be sending an Oregon DREAMer in my place to remind Trump that these are real people with families and jobs, who are vital to our communities. They deserve certainty and protection.

WASHINGTON

Rep. Pramila Jayapal

ANNOUNCEMENT: With all the racism coming from the White House, I will NOT be attending @realDonaldTrump's State of the Union.

Instead, we'll focus on the State of OUR Union, our opposition to his agenda, and we will lift up a progressive and inclusive vision of our country. pic.twitter.com/dcAWMIkZZV
