Democratic women from the House and Senate are wearing white to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address as a nod to the suffragette movement.
The move is both to honor the movement, which paved the way for women to vote, as well as a show of solidarity among the Democratic women in Congress.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan wrote that her decision to wear white was a call for equal rights.
Today, I #WearWhite with @HouseDemWomen because women have been at the forefront of the fight for equal pay, affordable health care, repro freedom & safety from violence and discrimination. We demand equality because women’s rights are human rights! #WomenUnited pic.twitter.com/xTX6P3HV47

„Women have been at the forefront of the fight for equal pay, affordable health care, repro freedom & safety from violence and discrimination,“ Lawrence wrote. „We demand equality because women’s rights are human rights!“
The lawmakers also wore white to honor the 100th anniversary of the ratification of 19th amendment, which allowed women to vote.
Why are we wearing Suffragette white to the #SOTU? 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave some women the right to vote. That was just the beginning though. Our rights are still not guaranteed in the Constitution. That's why we need the #ERANow! pic.twitter.com/b8J5Geh4T8
