Van Gogh Museum reaches funding agreement with Dutch government

Protesters have put up a display outside the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York to illustrate the links between Leon Black, trustee at the museum, and Jeffrey Epstein. Black, who became chair of the museum board in 2018, stepped down amid calls for his removal in 2021, but has remained a trustee.

During the protest, which according to Hyperallergic was attended by some two dozen people, the Institute of Primary Facts parked its ‘Bookmobile’ – a converted food truck containing bound volumes of the released Epstein files, in which Black is mentioned thousands of times – outside the museum.

The Cornell 7 Case Demands More Than Outrage

"Several national organizations are working to bring survivors and our allies together to demand systemic change. Organizations like mine, me too. International, along with the National Women's Law Center and UltraViolet, are on the front lines organizing survivor leaders, fighting for survivors in courtrooms, and keeping people engaged on these issues."

Pantone’s color of the year is connected to LGBTQ rights

Karin Rowland, chief campaigns officer for UltraViolet, said in a phone call Thursday that Pantone’s choice is more than timely.
“The color has a lot of resonance now,” she said, referring to the fight for women’s equality and issues about sexual assault and harassment.
Before Fox News fired longtime host Bill O’Reilly earlier this year, the group protested at company headquarters. The demonstrators’ signs included the signature ultra violet hue — highlighting the word “sexual predator.”

Does your generation determine how you perceive sexual harassment?

Karin Roland, 35, is chief of campaigns for UltraViolet, the national feminist anti-rape group that deploys high-profile gestures to get its messages across (they recently sent up a plane with a banner, “Hollywood: stop enabling abuse,” to fly over the Hollywood sign). Roland is a late GenXer/early millennial who thinks the deluge of women coming forward to accuse Weinstein and others will get the attention of young women entering the workforce.

The plane was chartered, and message written, by the women’s advocacy group UltraViolet, which has hardly been lacking in inspiration over the past year. In April, it sent the message “Fox: #DropOReilly, The Sexual Predator” flying over New York and Fox News’s headquarters to demand that the network fire its host Bill O’Reilly, whose settlements surrounding sexual assault amounted to $13 million. And just last week, lest we forget that a man repeatedly accused of sexual abuse is currently the president, UltraViolet also set up a truck blaring Donald Trump‘s infamous Access Hollywood tape on loop in front of the White House, one year after it surfaced.

Betsy DeVos Rescinds Key Obama-Era Policy On Campus Sexual Assault

DeVos is ignoring the “terrifying reality” that 1 in 4 women are sexually assaulted while on campus, according to Nita Chaudhary, co-founder of the national women’s advocacy group UltraViolet.



“Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump are more concerned with protecting the rights of predators and abusers over the rights of survivors of sexual assault,” Chaudhary said in a statement. “Sadly, given President Trump’s history of bragging about sexual assault, this isn’t that surprising.”

“The banner will say ‘Murkowski don’t back down. Protect our care,’” Karin Roland, chief campaigns officer for the group UltraViolet, said. She said her group will have similar banners flying in Arizona and Maine, aimed at Senators John McCain and Susan Collins. They and Murkowski were the only Republican senators to vote against health care repeal in July.
