I was excited that Democrats won the House, but angry that so many white women are still voting for sexist and racist Republicans.

We can’t just say #WomenVote as though that will change everything — because all women aren’t all part of the resistance.

To be true feminists, progressive white women must commit to the work of bringing our conservative peers around and fighting for racial justice, at the polls and elsewhere.
