Women in the House Democratic Caucus will be wearing white during President Trump’s joint address to Congress on Tuesday in honor of women’s suffrage.

Dozens of the female lawmakers were spotted wearing white, the official color of the women's suffrage movement, during the chamber’s first votes Tuesday afternoon, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the first female Speaker.

“We wear white to unite against any attempts by the Trump Administration to roll back the incredible progress women have made in the last century, and we will continue to support the advancement of all women. We will not go back,” said Rep.
