Dear Americans,

We are survivors of sexual violence, advocates, and allies. And with voting already underway in the 2024 election, we come together to remind you that Donald J. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse in a court of law. He is a proven abuser. This is not a matter of opinion; it is fact.

A second Trump term would pose multiple dangers to our democracy—not least of which is the dangerous daily message it would send, through his presence and his policies, that sexual or gender-based violence of any kind is normal, unavoidable, and something the American people should accept.

We will not accept that. We demand better, and believe that in this election, Vice President Kamala Harris is the right—and only—choice for president. She will be an ally and partner in the ongoing work to end gender-based violence.

We encourage you to join us, for the sake of the survivors in your own life—those whose stories you know, and those you may not.

With respect,

Survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, and allies, from across the political spectrum
