(1/11)The National Task Force sent a letter to Senate Leadership today. Read the full statement here, read excerpts below. bit.ly/2QPCuW8
(2/11)We have grave concerns about the way the @senjudiciary, under current leadership, has failed to take into account the lessons learned through the implementation of VAWA over the past 24 years.
(3/11)If @senjudiciary is not willing to engage in a process that upholds the dignity and safety of a person who has come forward to report that she was a victim of sexual assault, then they can’t pretend to care about VAWA.
Sometimes it takes us awhile to come to terms with our past.
Sometimes it takes years.
Sometimes it takes decades.
Fairly recently, I found myself having to reckon with my own past.

I accidentally opened the lid on a box hidden deep in my brain and examined the memories inside.
It took me by surprise, and I couldn't get the lid back on quick enough to stop myself.
I saw it.
Raw.

The box I had been keeping it on melted away.
There was nowhere left to hide it.
The memories just washed over me.
I found myself seeing what happened to me with new eyes.
Older eyes.
Wiser eyes.

especially vulnerable to predators. It’s like we wear a label across our chests that says “potential victim.” We sometimes trust ppl others would know not to bc the lines were so blurred as children, & we were taught that love is abuse is love. Many days, I hate myself.
My doctors told me I’m not statiscally supposed to be alive. It’s hard to be proud of surviving sometimes. It’s hard to feel good ab anything. The one promise I made myself was that no matter what, I would stand up for survivors, even when I can’t do it for myself. I’m crying as
#DearProfessorFord if your own two witnesses dispute your case denying they ever saw any type of behavior by Kavanaugh how is any objective person going to take your case seriously? If you can't remember when, where, or other details that hurts your case as well.
If you can't remember any of those details or others and your own witnesses don't corroborate your story is it possible you are mistaken in who assaulted you, when they assaulted you or even where?
If the FBI did look into the case as Democrats demand they'd be speaking to you, Kavanaugh, and your named witnesses. Of the 4 parties involved, three claim Kavanaugh's innocence. So, how exactly is that going to help your case? It doesn't because your case falls apart.
