This Letter Calling Out “Sexist” 2020 Coverage Demands Women Candidates Get Treated Fairly

The media needs to change how it treats women candidates vying for the presidency in the 2020 election, according to a coalition of women’s rights groups. At least 20 organizations signed a letter calling out “sexist” 2020 coverage of women candidates in the 2020 Democratic primary. Furthermore, the groups laid out three demands they believe will ensure women candidates receive equal coverage and are treated fairly.
Organizations like Ultraviolet Action, Emily’s List, Feminist Majority Foundation, Not Without Black Women, Women’s March, and others highlighted what they believe are big problems with the press coverage of women candidates.

Hundreds of sexual assault survivors call for dismissal of upstate New York judge who did not send child rapist to prison

The women’s advocacy group UltraViolet is asking the New York Commission on Judicial Conduct to remove McClusky. Nearly 35,000 people have signed their petition, including more than 675 survivors of sexual assault, the group said Wednesday.




“No one should have to go through an entire court case just to be told that their assault didn’t matter, but that’s what Judge McClusky said,” UltraViolet said in a letter to the commission.
