@AyannaPressley When Black civil rights warriors won the fight for voting rights, voter turnout all across the South—for Blacks and whites—skyrocketed. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley So, I want to speak directly to the question on some white people’s minds when we talk about the need to address what our government has done in Black communities. The uncomfortable question of “what will this mean for me”? — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley To this day racism still whispers the convenient lie to some white people that if your life has problems, you should blame “them”—people who don’t look like you. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley Black history is American history. And American history teaches us that racism has for generations shaped every crucial aspect of our economy and political system. https://t.co/mUjJqwvwjf — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley Racist politicians doubled down. They divided Black people and white people in every moment of every day of every life, using force, violence, and intimidation to oppress Blacks and to ensure that Blacks and whites would never come together to stand up against those in power. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley The law had promised equal civil and legal rights for all, and its loss was another body blow to our fragile, reconstructed democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley In 1883, two years after the successful washerwomen’s strike and as other groups were just beginning to exercise some political muscle, the Supreme Court struck down a civil rights law that had been passed in the wake of the Civil War. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley But the gains were fleeting. As the idea that Black workers and white workers could make real structural change if they fought side by side began to spark to life, an evil force was once again mobilizing against it. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley Then it happened. The employers, the city council, the powerful white citizens—they all backed down. The women won! — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley And when the City Council threatened to intervene, the women sent a public letter to the mayor of Atlanta and said they would not back down. They went right to the heart of the matter: “We mean business.” — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley Black women—then and now—are no strangers to facing resistance when they fight for justice, and Black women—then and now—don’t give up easy. Even in the face of imminent violence, Black women refused to be defined by fear. So, the women of the Washing Society persisted. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley The employers struck back. They warned that they would use their money and power to start their own modern industrial laundry service to replace the washerwomen permanently. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley In the space of three weeks, 20 women on strike became 200 women. And 200 women on strike became 2,000 women. 2,000 became 3,000. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley One day, they had enough. It was July 1881, when 20 of Atlanta’s Black washerwomen threw down their washboards, walked away from their barrels—and formed a union: The Washing Society. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley By nightfall, everything was folded and stacked, ready to be dropped off the next morning when they picked up a new pile of dirty laundry. And so the cycle continued—all for less than a dollar a day. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley Black women and girls found that pretty much the only work white employers allowed them to do was the work that they’d been forced to do when they had been enslaved—caring for white families. Thousands of women scratched out a living as washerwomen. The work was heavy. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley I want to tell a story. The year was 1881. After the tyranny of slavery, thousands of African Americans came to Atlanta hoping to build new lives, lives full of promise. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley I’m here to make a commitment: When I am president of the United States, the lessons of Black history will not be lost. Those lessons, they will live in every part of my presidency—and I will ask you to hold me accountable for that promise every single day. https://t.co/kIhG74rLCU — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
@AyannaPressley I wanted to stick around after last night’s debate because this city has been at the heart of America’s fight for justice. Atlanta is a city that honors fighters. The fighters I want to talk about tonight are Black women. — PolitiTweet.org
Elizabeth Warren @ewarren
I’ve known @AyannaPressley for nearly a decade. Together, we've fought against for-profit colleges, stood for families torn apart by gun violence, and gone toe-to-toe with the Trump administration as we’ve fought to protect immigrant families. #AtlantaWithWarren — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump's racist immigration policies have done unimaginable harm, contributed to several deaths, and torn apart families. His proposed wall is a monument to hate and division. We must build a fair and humane immigration system that reflects our values—and I’ve got a plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Netanyahu is accused of accepting bribes, trading government favors, and manipulating a free press. Like his pal Donald Trump, he'll stop at nothing to enrich himself and stay in power. This blatant corruption has no place in any democracy—I'll fight it at home and abroad. — PolitiTweet.org
