"Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe we must become its soul." Dehumanizing Latino communities has been Trump's calling card since the first minutes of his presidential campaign, when he called immigrants from Mexico criminals and "rapists." A logical person would only be able to conclude that his words and policies reflect deeply rooted hatred of Latinos and other marginalized communities. We "become the soul" when we see ourselves in the struggle of other women to protect themselves and protect the vulnerable. The racism and white nationalism that has been drawn to the surface by — and indeed, defines -- the Trump administration truly exists everywhere.
