When the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings were underway one of the most memorable moments came when two women confronted Jeff Flake urging him to vote against the Supreme Court nominee. Now one of those women is back in the spotlight, invited as a guest to the State of the Union.
I’m proud to announce that my #StateOfTheUnion guest will be @AnaMariaArchil2.
Ana Maria is the NY14-er who famously jumped into the elevator with Sen. Flake to elevate the stories of survivors everywhere.
She‘s living proof that the courage within all of us can change the ?. https://t.co/OLSeNbP4Z2

Archila is the executive director of The Center for Public Democracy. The organization writes:
Well-behaved women rarely make history, and our own Ana Maria Archila showed the world what courage and strength look like in the age of Trump. We are honored that Ana Maria Archila will join another badass woman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, for the State of the Union. These two women are fearless in their vision for a loving American that stands for courage, dignity and the freedom to thrive. Follow along with #PeoplesSOTU to see how these two women, our affiliates, and our partners are building a positive future.
