State of the Union (album)

State of the Union: D.C. Benefit Compilation is a compilation album, compiled by Mark Andersen, that was released on Dischord Records. It consisted of songs from bands active in the Washington, D.C. punk scene during the second half of the 1980s and was a benefit for the American Civil Liberties Union and Community for Creative Non-Violence. All proceeds from the album's sales were donated to these two groups.

Part of the funding for pressing the compilation was derived from a benefit show held on September 3, 1987, at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. The concert's lineup featured Marginal Man, Ignition, Fire Party, and the debut performance from Fugazi. The concert raised nearly $1000, which enabled the project to proceed.
