Unsure why white men still have a monopoly on the inside of dem politics in the south, but I promise you only hiring them is neither innovative nor progressive. I know a number of women & people of color who are more than qualified for these roles who are consistently overlooked.

Diversity in representation matters & so does diversity in staff. With a large pool of recently unemployed campaign staffers this cycle from all different backgrounds who are ready to fight for our democracy, I expect better from dem campaigns/orgs. Especially in the south.

It’s disheartening to see folks who have the experience & endless potential, who have fought for years to get a seat at the table, be left out of the 2020 cycle after their presidential ended. If you don’t have any women or people of color on your team, this thread IS about you.
