When I first decided I was likely going to run for TDP Chair, the first call I made was to my 22 year old daughter. I asked her if she'd be ok with seeing lies and negativity about me posted on the internet. She was so cool about it.

The replies in this post, make it clear what people of color and women leaders are up against. It's long past time to have a Democratic Party that has people's backs and understands what it means to challenge the status quo.
