The House Democratic Women's Working Group is inviting female members of both parties to wear white to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address next week as a symbol of solidarity.
"Wearing suffragette white is a respectful message of solidarity with women across the country, and a declaration that we will not go back on our hard-earned rights," Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida, the chair of the working group, told CNN.
Frankel pointed out there have never been as many Democratic women serving in Congress as there are today.
In 2017, the same group coordinated Democratic women wearing white to Trump's joint address to Congress. At the time, the women said they were wearing white not only in memory of the women's suffrage movement but also to show Trump their support for a number of issues affecting women, including affordable health care, reproductive rights and equal pay.
Wearing white has become common among female politicians who want to make a statement. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore white to the new-member swearing-in ceremony earlier this month, and wrote in a tweet, "I wore all-white today to honor the women who paved the path before me, and for all the women yet to come."
The New York Democrat added, "From suffragettes to Shirley Chisholm, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the mothers of the movement."
Hillary Clinton wore white when accepting the Democratic nomination for president in 2016.

Yeah, White and Black are pretty much the absence of color, by definition.
Hillary would look best in orange.

Inventing a cause that doesn’t exist and harm that won’t happen
“...and a declaration that we will not go back on our hard-earned rights,”
Fill up, then, the measure of your foresisters’ sins!
This. This is exactly why President Trump should not give the SOTU at the HOR.
Doubt that millenials know what Women's Sufferage is.
“Trump should show up in a white tux, just to screw with their symbolism.”
Outstanding idea!
Reproductive rights? What tripe-they celebrate the opposite.
They should wear blood red for production which yields nothing except dead bodies of innocent children.
This is so confusing.
I thought anything white was eeeeeeeevil!
I guess one needs a liberal brain to interpret the signs, etc.
Wearing white means that they will be surrendering.
I thought they were all about diversity and individuality and be yourself/express yourself - now they all want to dress in the same color, conformity, we are all together as one mentality?
LOL !
Oh brother.
Are they practicing to be jihadi brides in heaven?
That has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Lots like this out there.
I would seat them in the shape of a penis... hehehe
I think that’s Aunt Bee on the left with her arms folded.
Im sorry, who has threatened their rights?
