As an organizer, today I'm sending my profound gratitude to all the women who did the work in this election - not only as candidates, but as volunteers, donors, and voters who fueled progressive victories.
As a white woman, I'm reflecting on the role we played. In a lot of places, white women failed to support progressive candidates. We have important work to do to be in solidarity with women of color & help others see that racism, sexism, & bigotry are intertwined & hurt us all.
Last night's results are a familiar story for too many, especially Black women, who remain the most reliably progressive voting bloc in the country. Their issues are all our issues, and must be front and center in the progressive agenda - not brushed aside or marginalized.
This is a moment for white women to do some soul searching about how best to "spend our privilege," to quote @MsPackyetti from a few months ago. thecut.com/2018/08/nia-wi… 
In the meantime, let's celebrate and lift up the extraordinary women of color who overcame so much to make history last night - including @JahanaHayesCT, @LUnderwood630, and @LucyWins2018, who were elected in majority-white districts.
And one of the best ways to spend our privilege right now is by supporting @StaceyAbrams, who is leading a heroic fight on behalf of the people of GA. She isn't giving up until every single vote is counted, and needs our help in that effort: secure.actblue.com/donate/sya-nov…
