2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris speaks to students at a cafe on April 11 in Des Moines.

As the 2020 election gets underway, women of color within the Democratic Party want to make sure it “boldly lives up to its values,” as Rep. Ayanna Pressley demanded of a group of party figures in December. This cycle’s crop of presidential contenders have gone out of their way to acknowledge issues facing African Americans and other minority groups in their speeches, appearances and policy rollouts, and their votes are seen as critical.
She the People’s forum will place candidates directly before an audience of women of color. Each presidential hopeful will appear onstage for 20 minutes and respond to their questions. Allison said she particularly wanted to hear the candidates’ proposals on issues such as immigration and criminal justice.
She the People has no plans to hold a forum for the Republican presidential field, in part, because of the lack of candidates. More than 40 national and regional partners that are led by or work to advance the causes of women of color have been invited to partner with She the People for the forum or attend, including the Texas Future Project, MoveOn, Black Voters Matter, New American Leaders and SEIU Texas.
Good. They’ve been right about everything. Ignore them at our peril.
Thanks for the endorsement of identity politics. Question, how's that working for us? Question, what was it the wise man said about character and not color? Question, when will we learn from that wise man?
Why not answer to ALL Americans, it just one segment?
This is why conservatives can't have nice things. Fucking racist idiots spewing vile hate, so the MSM and DNC can then 'pounce' and proclaim, 'See they are all racists.' As a conservative I love all my brothers and sisters. Racism is unamerican and doesn't belong in any party.
Why do Democrats allow people who aren't women of color to vote in their primaries?
I will wait for the Forum where they answer to left handed ,one leged transgender midgets that earn more than 100k a month.
Does the Wapo consider 'white' to be a valid color?
MayorPete is the most promising woman candidate in this race so far.
She the People.....Sheeeethepeople......Sheeple!
