Nationwide Walkout Supports Kavanaugh Accusers: 'Women Must Be Heard'
Women’s rights organizations are urging people to take part in a national walkout on Monday to show support for the two women who have publicly accused Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court pick, of sexual assault.
“We believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. We believe Deborah Ramirez,” wrote abortion rights advocacy group NARAL on Twitter, referring to the two Kavanaugh accusers by name.
“Survivors must be heard,” the anti-sexual harassment organization Time’s Up tweeted on Sunday, urging people to take part in the protest.
The Trump administration, as well as many leading Republican lawmakers, have cast aspersions at both women and their allegations. The president, who has himself been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, attacked Ford on Twitter last week.
