Hot on the black heels of women at the Golden Globes, women in Congress are planning their own protest of sexual harassment and assault in the workplace.

During President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union later this month, a group of women Democrats are planning on wearing all black in solidarity with victims of sexual harassment — just as those actresses did in Hollywood.

It is unclear how many women will join the silent protest, which is likely to draw attention to the numerous accusations of sexual misconduct that have been levied against Mr Trump himself.

The President has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and the White House has indicated that its official position on Mr Trump’s accusers it that they are lying.

“This is a culture change that is sweeping the country, and Congress is embracing it,” Representative Jackie Speier — the politician who spearheaded Congress’ own #MeToo movement — said on CNN.

Ms Speier’s office said that she and other members of the House Democratic Women’s Working group are inviting others — both men and women, Democrat and Republican — to dress black at the speech.

The wave of allegations of sexual misconduct have already resulted in resignations from members of Congress, and have sparked debates about the unique rules that Congress has established for itself when it comes to sexual harassment or assault charges.

The the coordinated black outfits at Mr Trump’s first State of the Union won’t be the first time that women in Congress come together to protest the President during a speech of his to a join tweeting of the House and Senate.
