[ [link removed] ]Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress


Yesterday Alexandria was walking up the steps of the Capitol when a man
made inappropriate sexist and racist comments to her right in front of
Capitol police officers.^1 The officers did nothing. They didn’t even ask
the guy to take a step back.

Not only did this incident resurface serious concerns about why so little
is done to protect the women of color who serve in the Capitol, but it
also raises a larger question about why men too often just stand by when
they see other men catcalling and accosting women.

So many men know or are friends with people like this man and just shrug
off their behavior or ignore it because they don’t know what else to do in
the moment.

But we know that this kind of behavior often escalates and tracks with
domestic abuse, stalking, and assault.

So last night Alexandria went to Instagram and asked to hear from men: How
have you grappled with this issue? Has another man’s behavior ever made
you uncomfortable, and did you respond in the moment? If you didn’t know
how to respond in the past, do you respond now?
