Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has bravely come forward and shared her story about her sexual assault at the hands of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Even though Dr. Blasey Ford has repeatedly stated her desire to testify and bravely share her story, Senate Republicans are doing everything they can to shame, bully, and force her to testify under their unacceptable, inappropriate conditions.
At 1 p.m. EST Monday, join us for a national walk-out to show our support for Dr. Blasey Ford. 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 walk out, you can show your support by posting a video or a picture to this event. Help spread the word: we believe Dr. Blasey Ford. We believe survivors. And we won’t stand for Senate Republicans’ despicable attempts to strong-arm a sexual assault survivor.

This is what happens when a group of powerful men decide to be immoral, biased and prejudiced. Not one woman to be on this decision making panel. It is disgusting. Reading the statistics, and involving oneself with the crime of rape in the United States would show why women do not report rape. Stop thinking with your little brain/head. Be real men for a change and show you are willing to look at the real statistics. Fear of reprisal, and embarassment keep many women silent for years, if not their whole lives because of the structure of our society/family, church and government.
