They're members of the International Socialist Organization. Some are older, some younger, all strong women with fire in their hearts. I love listening to them talk when I go to meetings. Some aren't officially with the ISO, but agree with many of the politics. You would have loved to hear these women of color talk during the Black Lives Matter stuff; damn, it was inspiring. And I would be scared as heck if I were a member of the white men in power
