54. How do you think black, Native, Latina, and Asian women feel when they hear "Women's Right to Vote"

Feb 2020

and know that it didn't include them? I was called out on that once and I will never make that mistake again. As a white woman, I stand in solidarity with women of color.

How do you think black girls feel in school when they learn about it and know that they didn't count?

WHITEwashing our past is what pits women against women.

Speaking the truth does not.

We cannot heal, reconcile and improve until we recognize this. In this centennial year of the 19th amendment, I think it is the perfect time to finally get it right.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
