Get it? Sisters have always been at the forefront of social and political movements—and we will continue to lead. But right now, we are resting, reflecting and preparing for the ongoing, relentless fight against oppressive forces seeking to end democracy and further marginalize our communities. #Resist

In the United States, no state ever votes 100% Democratic (blue) or 100% Republican (red), and yet this is how we are accustomed to seeing our electoral maps illustrated, despite a 2009 study showing that this can exacerbate polarization.
Blue bracelets? Over 52% of white women chose a candidate who openly promoted racism, misogyny, xenophobia, and authoritarianism. Trust has been deeply broken. No performative gestures—like this—can undo the damage or reassure those of us who face the consequences first. #TakeAction
