One year ago today, Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. We believed her then and we believe her now. We believe survivors.
We are profoundly disappointed by the Senate’s vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. But we are inspired by the survivors of sexual violence who have built and led a movement that will not be stopped by Kavanaugh, by the Republicans in the Senate, or by the President of the United States.
We are exactly one month out from the election. We will remember who felt that survivors’ lived experiences were not enough. We’ll remember who thought it would be more politically beneficial to cater to the crumbling patriarchy than the brave women who are claiming their voices. We’ll remember who called survivors hysterical, mistaken and liars.Despair is the enemy of justice. We won’t give up. We fight on. We are on the right side of history.
Today’s vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court comes at the end of a process that has made a mockery of the Senate’s obligation to provide “advice and consent” for Supreme Court nominees, as our Constitution requires. And it begins an era in which the integrity and impartiality of the Supreme Court will be open to question, an era that will last at least as long as Brett Kavanaugh’s tenure as a Justice.
And sadly, millions of sexual assault survivors fear that they must remain silent about the abuse and trauma they have suffered.
