Women’s Group: We Believe Karen Monahan
MINNESOTA — The Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party is handing off a domestic violence claim against Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison to local authorities.
Shaunna Thomas, Executive Director of leading women’s advocacy group, UltraViolet, issued the following in response:
“We believe Karen Monahan. We believe survivors. Plain and simple.”
“Investigations—especially investigations by one’s own political party—are often stacked against survivors and used to discredit them. In this case, it is no surprise that this internal investigation by the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party came up short.”

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!
