Women’s Group to the Oscars: Have All Women Presenters This Year
UltraViolet, a leading national women’s advocacy organization, is calling on the Oscars to have all-women presenters as this year’s award ceremony. The ask comes as Casey Affleck, a man with numerous accusations of sexual harassment and assault against him, is expected to present this year’s award for Best Actress.
Karin Roland, Chief Campaigns Officer for UltraViolet, explained:
“This year especially, the Oscars need to step up and demonstrate their commitment to women in Hollywood – and one, urgent and important step they can take is to commit to only having women present the awards this year.”

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!
