UltraViolet: Yet Another Failure by NFL to Take Domestic Abuse Seriously
Statement from UltraViolet Co-Founder Nita Chaudhary on NFL Decision to Overturn Indefinite Suspension of Ray Rice:
“Let’s not forget the issue at hand here, which is that 55 cases of abuse went unanswered under Goodell’s watch. It was also his decision to issue a pathetically short punishment in the first place that gave Rice a way out with today’s ruling. The problem here is the NFL’s long history of sweeping abuse under the rug.”

Give for survivor justice taking flight!
While Donald Trump and Pam Bondi want to change the subject, we refuse to let them off the hook for protecting predators. That’s why we're flying airplane banners to keep Trump’s ties to child sex abuser and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein in the news. Epstein’s more than 1,000 survivors deserve transparency and justice. Your gift today will keep the spotlight on Trump’s and Bondi’s deflections and center survivors in the public narrative!
