It's finally here! We are so proud to partner with @_shethepeople on the country's FIRST presidential forum on women of color. 8 presidential contenders will answer our most pressing questions about the policies that affect our lives. TODAY IS HISTORIC! #SheThePeople2020

1 in 5 primary voters are women of color and we make up 25% of the primary vote. If you’re not winning women of color, you’re not winning the nomination and that’s the tea for the day, take a sip. #SheThePeople2020

Listen or not. Your choice. Warren did great. BS dodged the question. You can't win an election without black women. That is a fact.

1. @JoyAnnReid + @aimeeallison need to moderate every debate, town hall, & forum. They not only asked amazing questions, but made sure that the candidates weren’t able to talk around a question without actually answering it — at least not without being noticed. #SheThePeople2020

Boom!

31. Joy did a good job. Rachel was very impressed too.

I am glad to see a lot of it on MSNBC today.

[sheshe2]

34. They are watching and listening to the women, as we all should.

[lapucelle]

4. Boom is right!

Julián was great...comfortable, relaxed, cogent, and candid.

[sheshe2]

7. I was on mom care and missed it.

I have only watched a few clips.

Dayum we have a fine progressive field to chose from and the diversity, the brilliant colors of change.

Black. White. POC. Old. Young. Gay. Straight. Male. Female.

Dayum. Loving it!

Thanks, Lapucelle.

[brer cat]

5. What an exciting forum

and long overdue!

[sheshe2]

11. The amazing energy and diversity our party has.

They are not spot on about the issues that face us. Yet they face them without loud angry voices and hateful rhetoric.

I love our Democrats!

[Cha]

6. Excellent OP, she! This Historic Event has

been so important to WOC, POC, and Peeps everywhere who care.

Looks like Kamala got some cheering, too!

[sheshe2]

12. Dayum.

Missed it.

[Indygram]

16. There is a YouTube video of the complete forum here

[sheshe2]

20. Thanks so much.

I will watch it tomorrow.

[Indygram]

26. You're welcome!

Glad to be of help!

[mcar]

25. Thanks for this

[Indygram]

28. You're welcome!

eom

[MustLoveBeagles]

38. Thank you

[Indygram]

9. For me, the top 2 were Beto and Warren

I loved how Beto answered that last question, even if he paused in response to something someone called out from the audience first, lol.

[sheshe2]

15. Ya know.

Obama paused in his answers at times. I adored him, still do, and it gave me pause, until I figured out that he was deep in thought and was formulating his answers.

Thanks, Indygram. I like Beto as well.

[Indygram]

18. You're welcome

I found the video for you and put it in another response. Now you can watch the whole thing.

[sheshe2]

22. Just saw your post.

I do mom care so I miss things I don't want to miss. May take me a day to watch it all, yet I will.

thanks again.

[mcar]

27. I look forward to watching it

I note that some on this board were critical of Harris for pausing before answering at her CNN town hall the other night and claimed it made her too scripted. Makes me wonder, what's wrong with pausing to collect one's thoughts?

[mcar]

14. I am so glad that our sisters of color,

the base of our party, finally are getting the stage they deserve!

[sheshe2]

17. About frigging time, mcar.

Brava!

[mcar]

24. Sure is, she.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. We're so fortunate to have such great candidates.

Warren especially blew the doors off - she was electrifying and really genuine. Bernie was the weakest, IMO; he didn't impress anybody with his comment about marching with MLK.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. K&R. So important. And so illuminating.

[ecstatic]

23. Omg @ Bernie! I knew all the reports on how well he was polling with blacks were BS.

I don't know a single voter who supports him. Back in 2016, some of my younger male cousins expressed support for him (based on Russian propaganda), but they don't vote.

29. Also, EW's transformation has been an amazing thing to watch.

I remember the first time I heard her speak--I think at a convention. I was not impressed at all. She seemed stiff and uncomfortable. But she's so confident now, and even though I don't agree with ALL of her ideas, I like that she actually has unique ideas!

[sheshe2]

32. She is my Senator.

I was at a small gathering when she was stumping for Senator Markey.

She was phenomenal. I took a picture of her before she entered, Faux Snooze was shoving a mic in her face.

[jaceaf]

30. Invite only?

Wondering how Pete can't wait to go pander on Fox but not in this forum?

[mysteryowl]

33. Love it! Plus, Texas has all those new black women judges!

Time to turn Texas!

[Honeycombe8]

36. That was amazing. There was an article in, I think Vanity Fair...

or Marie Claire, recently about it.

"Who makes it happen?"
"I do. I make it happen."
From the movie Working Girl.

[mysteryowl]

37. I just love this!!!

Look at this beautiful picture of these amazing women! (see link for picture!)

[Honeycombe8]

39. I remember that pic. It's truly historical and inspirational.

How the heck did that happen? The article I referenced discussed how it happened, I think. I need to read that article.

[Cracklin Charlie]

35. Interesting video coming out of this event!

Good interviews, informed audience...well done!

[Wounded Bear]

40. Saw just a few clips of it...great idea, looked well organized...
