I can't stop thinking about Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who courageously came forward to share her story of being sexually assaulted by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. As a survivor, I know how difficult it is to come forward. I believe her. That's why I decided to add my voice to this video.
Watch the video, and co-sign our letter: #DearProfessorFord, we believe you, and we honor your strength.
This nomination process cannot go forward without a full and fair FBI investigation into the case.
The #MeToo movement has given us the courage to demand that survivors be heard and supported. And no matter how powerful -- even those nominated to the highest court in the land -- those who are accused of abuse should be fully investigated.
It's hard to overstate the stakes with this nomination: it's a lifetime appointment that could affect everything we care about: Workers' Rights, Marriage Equality, DACA, Citizens United, Roe vs Wade -- many court cases that have a profound impact on our lives.
Please, watch this video, share it -- and support Dr. Blasey Ford.
Sincerely, Ai-jen Poo, Director, National Domestic Workers Alliance
