During President Trump's address to Congress, members of the Democratic Women's Caucus donned an array of pink outfits, aiming to symbolize women’s power and resistance. The unified display of color, contrasting sharply with the traditional dark suits in the chamber, served as a visual protest against Trump’s policies, particularly those affecting women's health. Chair of the caucus, Teresa Leger Fernandez, noted that they chose pink specifically to highlight the extremity of current issues. This choice, while historically linked with gender stereotyping, reclaimed pink as a symbol of strength and solidarity among women in politics.
"We decided to use a strong color because what's happening now is more extreme than ever... Pink is the color of women's power, of persistence and of resistance."
"There were congresswomen in hot pink. In shell pink. In baby pink. In pink jackets and pink skirts. There were even some congressmen in pink ties."
