When women have beaten

the odds to elect our own to office

and these victories were led and made possible

by women of color.

It is not up to women of color

to save this

country from itself.

We've got to

do better, we've got to do better.

We have the power to change every policy.

And make every elected official work for us.

We must stand up and be loud and be woke.

So let us harness

our power and head to the polls.

If you are considered the other,

guess what, you're part

of the collectsive minority

which is now the majority.

So now we have to show them

exactly how fucking powerful we really are.
