The four women of color, who endured frequent racism and derision from President Trump, will return to Capitol Hill and will even be joined by two new squad members: Jamaal Bowman, \u00a0a Black middle-school principal, and Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist, who won their elections in New York and Missouri, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday night, Omar tweeted photos of herself, Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, and Tlaib, writing, \u201cOur sisterhood is resilient.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Our sisterhood is resilient. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IfLtsvLEdx\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/IfLtsvLEdx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IlhanMN\/status\/1323842350683213824?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">November 4, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cServing New York-14 and fighting for working-class families in Congress has been the greatest honor, privilege and responsibility of my life,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said. \u201cThank you to the Bronx and Queens for re-electing me to the House despite the millions spent against us, and trusting me to represent you once more.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"paragraph\">\n<p>Tlaib, who was re-elected to represent Michigan\u2019s 13th Congressional district,\u00a0<a title=\"(opens new window)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"external-disclaimer\">tweeted<\/a>, \u201c#Detroit: I love you so much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omar, meanwhile, <a title=\"(opens new window)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"external-disclaimer\">wrote<\/a>, \u201cWe are building a movement that sees my struggle as inherently tied to your struggle, and sees a world where all workers can be uplifted.
