National Walkout: Support Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez
Join us Monday, September 24, at 1p.m. ET for a national walkout in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez have bravely shared their stories about their sexual assaults at the hands of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. They have nothing to gain by telling their stories publicly. Every senator and the entire country owes them respect and gratitude for coming forward.
Instead of seeking additional information when Deborah Ramirez’s allegations became known to the Committee last week, Chairman Grassley tried to accelerate the confirmation process and silence her voice. Once again, his actions make clear that he has no intention of seeking the truth or listening to survivors. Enough is enough. Senators, now is the time: Reject Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination.
All you need to do is wear black and walk out — of your home, your office, your classroom, wherever you are — and post a picture to your social media with the hashtag #BelieveSurvivors.
If you can’t walkout, you can show your support by posting a video to social media. Help spread the word: we believe survivors. And we won’t stand for Senate Republicans’ despicable attempts to strong-arm a sexual assault survivor.
In Washington, D.C.? Join dozens of organizations in the Senate Hart Atrium at 12:30 p.m. ET. At 1 p.m. ET, we'll walk out of the atrium to the Supreme Court for a National Speakout. More info on Facebook.
