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.”

‘Vote no’: Left takes to TV and sky to reach Murkowski

“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.

Left on ‘full war footing’ to stop Obamacare repeal

Ahead of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s plans to vote next week on a new bill to dismantle the health law, the Democratic grassroots is on what one leading activist called “full war footing.”
The liberal group UltraViolet Action will launch an aerial banner campaign on Thursday targeting Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine), who brought down the most recent GOP repeal plan.
