(71,467 posts)Where in the article does it say she is a speaker...only that her words were used in the theme for the women's convention.
"The theme stems from Rep. Maxine Waters now famous reclaiming my time statement, which went viral after the California Congresswoman spoke during a House committee hearing in July. Waters was among the elected officials, celebrities, and activists who addressed crowds at the massive Womens March held in Washington, D.C. on January 21, 2017."
"Theyre aiming to assemble first-time activists and movement leaders, rising political stars who reflect the countrys shifting demographics, and women whove organized sister marches, huddles, rallies and various resistance actions".
It says nothing about who speaks. And This is a political rally not a Women's convention. The entire thing is another divisive bullshit 'movement' which will be meaningless in the age of Trump...not about electing Democrats. or empowering women. I won't ever trust this group again... they have devolved into an anti-Democratic Party group like our revolution....not a word about electing Democrats in the statement...so done with this.
