..."A group of female Democratic lawmakers is reportedly planning to wear black to President Donald Trumps first State of the Union address, in solidarity with movements protesting sexual harassment and assault in numerous industries.
NBC News first reported the lawmakers plan on Twitter, and Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) confirmed to HuffPost that she was planning to take part in the action.
This is a culture change that is sweeping the country, and Congress is embracing it, Speier, who launched #MeTooCongress in response to a social media movement against sexual harassment, told HuffPost on Tuesday.
The congresswoman said she and other members of the Democratic Womens Working Group are inviting men and women across the political spectrum to join them in making a statement at the Jan. 30 State of the Union address." (More)
