Thank you for your continued and tireless advocating for gender equality. We all need to feel and be safe. But…
There is a terrifying trend in the process for women and children who come forward. This is very very scary! Bless both you and Farrah!

It’s distressing, but not surprising, that you and your co-Chair have had to make this decision. Of course the Ford administration (I don’t like calling them a ‘government’) has no time for you and your work. Resigning seems to me the only appropriate thing to do. I hope your decisions will be broadcast widely so protests can be developed and heard. I’ll tweet this link to various VAW and other women’s twitter accounts to help spread the news.
