Dear @ewarren, when I tell the story of your presidential campaign to all the children in my life (which I will), here's some of what I'll share about why we should all be saying #ThankYouElizabethWarren . . . . (1/8)
You put up front & made visible what women, especially working class women, usually do quietly: we figure out what must be done - no matter how impossible it seems - and figure out a way to do it; we help people see the plan -- the way to make the impossible, possible. (2/8)
You put critically important, yet invisible women--domestic workers--on stage & at the center of your solutions. Your historic speech in GA on Black domestic workers & their courageous organizing lifted up generations of leadership that our kids deserve to know about (3/8)
You fought hard on behalf of survivors & refused to accept a political culture that glosses over harassment & violence. Every time a survivor courageously comes forward against the odds, I will remember how you met their courage with yours. We deserve leaders like you (4/8)
You released a plan for low-income Asian Pacific Islander Americans, all the poor & working-class Asians in America who are central to our culture & economy yet are rarely even acknowledged, even by our #AAPI leaders (incl. an AA candidate who instead, wore a MATH pin) (5/8)
You fought to win & you did so without caving to the political norms women are dealt. You modeled how we can be unapologetic w/o being petty, powerful w/o being cruel, because our dreams our worth it, we don't have time for ego & this is not a drill. (6/8)
1 big thing that privilege buys: room for failure. We learn that the hard way as women, people of color & women of color especially. Somehow--better than room for error--your campaign bought us the room to dream. When I really think about it, I cannot imagine a bigger win. (7/8)
So, yes. Thank you @ewarren. #ThankYouElizabethWarren
Love always, me.
