Dear Senator Ernst,

We write as survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence urging you to publicly commit to rejecting Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

We believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. We believe Deborah Ramirez. We believe Julie Swetnick. We believe survivors.

We have all the information we need to know – Kavanaugh should never step foot in the Supreme Court.

Violence against women is an epidemic in this country: 1 in 3 women have been sexually assaulted. If you vote to confirm Kavanaugh, you are sending a clear and devastating message to millions of survivors that what happened to us doesn’t matter, and that a man who sexually abuses women can still win a seat on the highest court in the country.

We urge you to side with survivors and women, and prevent Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. Millions of survivors of assault will be watching this vote—and we won’t ever forget.

Sincerely,
