John,
Right now, jurors are preparing the verdict in the Harvey Weinstein rape trail. It’s been one month since the trial began in New York and a decision could come any day. In the midst of such a painful case, it is our duty as a community of women, femmes and allies to support the brave survivors of his despicable abuse.
No matter what the verdict – we know that Harvey Weinstein is guilty. This week, we have watched these courageous women rise up and fight back in and out of the courtroom. We know how hard it is to retell these accounts and face an abuser – and they should not have to go through this process alone.
We’re asking you to sign our letter in solidarity with all the survivors. Now more than ever, we need to show these brave women that we will fight with them until we see justice.

While we await the decisions of the jurors, we’ve fixed our focus on sending words of encouragement and support to the survivors. It’s time to show these brave, resilient women that they are not alone in the fight for justice.
Movements like #MeToo and #TimesUp have encouraged survivors to speak out against their abusers and demand accountability. It does not matter how powerful or wealthy the accused might be, no one is above the law.
A fundamental aspect of the Women’s March movement includes the protection and advocacy of women's rights. As women, femmes and allies, we have the power to amplify a message of unity and strength against abuse, harassment, or any kind of injustice.
Will you sign our letter of support in solidarity with the survivors during these final days of the Harvey Weinstein trial? In times like these, we need to make our voices heard loud and clear.
In solidarity,
Women's March Team
