[1]Women's March
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the White House because of all of
us, John. It was
women — especially women of color — who worked tirelessly to defeat Trump
and turn the tides of our country. Far too many of us are the survivors of
sexual assault, which is why we demand to know:
Why is Biden's Department of Justice continuing to defend Trump instead of
standing up for survivors?!
During his presidential campaign, Biden rightfully called out Trump for
using the Justice Department as his personal attorney. Trump called on the
DOJ to defend him personally from a defamation lawsuit filed by a woman
who accused him of assaulting her and then making crude and disparaging
remarks about her while in office.
Now, under the Biden administration, the new leadership of the Justice
Department has maintained the same legal position, stating that Trump
cannot be sued for remarks he made as president. The defamation lawsuit is
now at risk of being dismissed — and we cannot let that
happen, John.
You can take action right now to demand that the Department of Justice
stop defending Trump in two ways:

partners at UltraViolet for a protest TODAY at 1:00 p.m. ET outside the
Department of Justice. Social distancing and mask wearing are encouraged.
We will have signs available for you to use, but you may also bring your
own.
I'll be there →
[ [link removed] ]Or, if you aren't able to join in person: Sign our urgent petition
demanding the DOJ drop the defense. We're looking for as many Women's
Marchers to sign on as possible.
Add your name →
No one, much less the president of the United States, should be able to
use their position of power to slander a survivor of sexual assault.
The Justice Department should not let this precedent stand, and we must
make our voices heard urgently to tell them to reverse course before the
suit is dismissed.
Thank you for taking action to mobilize in support of our rights and our
values,
Women's March
