Protesters Pressure MoMA to Boot Leon Black from Museum’s Board

The assembly outside MoMA also included Epstein survivors and members of We Are UltraViolet and the research initiative Time & Memory Project. Nicole Regalado, vice president of campaigns at We Are UltraViolet, told Hyperallergic, “By serving on MoMA’s board, whether it’s intentional or not, MoMA is helping to sanitize Leon Black’s reputation.”

Black became the chairman of MoMA’s board in 2018 and stepped down in 2021 amid a call for his removal by more than 150 artists, though he remained a trustee.

Privacy fears emerge over corporate policies covering travel for abortion

Companies must establish guidelines for how they will respond to potential legal attacks on their policies, said Sonja Spoo, the director of reproductive rights campaigns at the feminist advocacy group UltraViolet.
“If you’re going to provide these benefits to workers, you need to make sure you have a plan in place to protect them,” she said. “Make sure employees are safe from attempts by whoever is in power to see information and weaponize it.”

Match halts some political donations after accusations of ‘reprowashing’

What they’re saying: The women’s rights group UltraViolet is calling the practice of donating to causes that directly oppose company statements on reproductive rights “reprowashing” — and along with other progressives is pushing to stop corporations from doing it.

“Companies have to both provide the best benefits for their workers and also make sure that they’re not funding politicians who are making it necessary for workers to have to travel to get basic health care in the first place,” Sonja Spoo, the Director of Reproductive Rights Campaigns at women’s activist group UltraViolet, tells Axios.
