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.

How about matching shoes and silly hats... maybe the same perfume?
Yeah, lets all respect women... for their minds...
Our awesome and fearless Melania will probably respond with black or some bright hue!

I don't see why not. Last year the Dem beyotches wore black, and the year before white. You know the Dems, they prefer symbolism over substance any day. I wonder if John Lewis will boycott against this year. Ginsburg missed last year's, and since she's in deep freeze, she'll miss it again this year. Can't put her out on display in the House Chamber for fear she'll thaw, and drip all over the nice carpet.
I see failed Georgia Gubernatorial candidate, Stacy Abrams is giving the rebuttal. That ought to be interesting...not!! Looks like Chuck and Nancy don't want to look like the painting, "American Gothic" "American Pathetic" again.
They wore that last year. White was in 2017. These women have no imagination when it comes to symbolism.
Did you notice those two men in between the women, face palming themselves?
Getting tired of all this symbiology
I don’t care what they wear. I am waiting to see Pelosi sitting behind Trump at that speech. Her face is going to be priceless.
Wearing white after Labor Day can get you killed.
Just excellent!
With pointy hats?
I say do it.
The Klan rally memes will be epic.
And for the encore, the most apropos white garment of all
Trump should thank them for wearing white as it signifies their opposition to Socialismus.
“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.
I’m wearing black, as I watch at home, in solidarity with all the future women who won’t be born thanks to NY’s Reproductive Health Care Act (aka The Infanticide Act)
Wait. What exactly are Trump’s anti-women initiatives?
Nah.
KKK
They might as well just put in the hoods and get it over with.
