R. Kelly is a serial sexual predator who's gotten away with abusing Black women and girls (yes, teen girls) for decades.

Trump thinks he's "great for women" but this is one of the most anti-woman tickets in history.

It’s past time for us to listen to and trust Black women and girls and hold those who abuse them accountable.

1 in 4 women has an abortion by age 45.
60% are already mothers.
Abortion is common, normal, and safe, but anti-choice politicians want you to believe otherwise in hopes of ending safe, legal abortion access. #HowDareYou
The fact that so many people identify with #WhyIDidntReport proves that we have a massive rape culture problem in this country. Survivors deserve better.

BREAKING: After months of pressure, CBS fired former CEO and sexual abuser Les Moonves for cause & will not give him a $120M severance. This is a huge victory for survivors! The norm should be that if you abuse women, you lose your job & golden parachute.
Agreed! We've created a helpful guide to spot and call out racist, sexist attacks on marginalized candidates ! weareuv.us/mediaguide
Props to the campaign for putting out a great plan for combatting sexual misconduct and discrimination in the campaign. This is a huge step in the right direction and a solid reference point for all 2020 presidential hopefuls.
Trump literally just called white supremacist protesters "very fine people." Is this what your company stands for?! #quitthecouncil
This is a perfect time to remind folks that if your feminism doesn't include trans people, non-binary people, gender nonconforming people, or non-woman-identified femmes, it’s not good enough. In fact, it's harmful. #WontBeErased
Before #NetNeutrality, Verizon said 's pro-choice messaging was too “controversial” & censored their text messaging program. If you care about digital activism, this net neutrality decision impacts you:
To all the survivors tweeting #WhyIDidntReport, we hear and believe you. Coming forward with your experience can be difficult, and support is never too far away. 💜
