Some of the women of the House Democrats banded together Tuesday, opting to wear white on the day of President Donald Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress in honor of the suffragette movement.
The congresswomen posted photos of their political fashion statements on Twitter with the hashtag #womenwearwhite. The hashtag was previously used during the November 2016 election, when many women wore white to the polls in honor of the movement.

Should wear those pink caps as well.
You beat me to it!
Beautiful. Almost makes me tempted to watch tonight. A very strong, but silent symbolic form of resistance.
