- Dear Trevor Fitzgibbon,
- As members of the progressive community, we are offended by your attempt to reinstate your
- services. Together, we are committed to never working with you or your firm--we will not reward
- you financially for your cynical attempt to erase the damage you did to your employees and the
- progressive movement.
- It’s an unfortunate reality that our judicial system too often fails sexual assault survivors. The
- U.S. Attorney’s decision regarding your case is far from an absolution of misconduct. As
- members of the progressive movement, we believe survivors--and we won’t work with
- individuals who have a history of harassment and assault.
- Rape culture is alive and well in our society and, unfortunately, in the progressive movement.
- Too often, survivors are shamed, questioned, or forced into silence. It’s time for all of us to take
- a stand, together, against rape culture and for justice for survivors.
- Shaming survivors as you attempt to minimize your misconduct and market yourself as a
- champion of women is not only insulting, but a dangerous display of rape culture in action. We
- won't be complicit in your cover-up through this shallow, self-serving project masked as an
- initiative to end workplace harassment. It will do far more harm than good in the precedent it
- sets.
- There is no room for sexual harassment or assault anywhere in the progressive community.
- There is no room for retaliation and vicious personal attacks against survivors. We must
- collectively be vigilant in preventing it, calling it out, and responding to it. We encourage all
- progressive organizations to dedicate themselves to justice for survivors and join us in this
- commitment by signing this letter.
- Sincerely,
