While preparing for next week’s crucial midterm elections, I’ve thought a lot about the type of voters who will have a large impact on its outcome: white women. Women like my cousin in New Hampshire who is very much a part of that 53% of white women who voted for Trump, who has continuously and blindly voted against the safety and well being of minorities— the type of white woman any progressive liberal white woman like myself wishes to distance herself from and disavow entirely. But staying present and engaging with women like my cousin is crucial right now and the real work we must be doing. Sweeping the shame of our extended family member’s racism, sexism, neglect and selfishness under the rug doesn’t make it go away— it just makes it become someone else’s problem to clean up. That someone else is everyone else who is not white.

For generations, black and brown women have been demanding white women step up and take the burdensome onus of these conversations on our selves— to speak to our own communities about what we need from them. Women from Rebecca Carroll to Ijeoma Oluo to Audre Lorde have been writing about white women’s complacency and willingness to undermine humanity in exchange for their own comfort. But it’s time for white accountability. Because it’s not enough just to show up for marches in pussy hats and protests with painted signs once or twice a year—we must also show up in more uncomfortable ways, like confronting our own family members with as much passion and stamina as we confront the phone lines of our elected officials. We must bang down the existential doors not just of the Susan Collins of the nation, but of the white women we have emotional access to— our relatives and friends. The day of “No Politics at the dinner table” is gone; liberal white women need to speak directly to the women who’s ears we are privileged to have, not just who’s company we like to keep

This weekend, I’ll be picking up the phone to call my cousin. To challenge her. I’ll keep calling for the rest of our lives. Won’t you join me? #WhiteWomanToWhiteWoman #accountability
