U.S : Elizabeth WARREN is right !

"We are not going to beat Donald Trump with a man who has who knows how many non-disclosure agreements and the drip, drip, drip of stories of women saying they have been harassed and discriminated against."¹

Last night, on the debate stage in Nevada, Senator Elizabeth Warren made a clear case against presidential candidates hiding their history of sexual harassment behind nondisclosure agreements (NDAs). Warren was the first candidate to call on Michael Bloomberg, back in December, to release his current and former employees who request to be from NDAs around sexual harassment and assault, and she's not backing down.² Let's make sure we have Sen. Warren's back and call on Bloomberg--and all candidates--to end their use of NDAs around cases of sexual assault and harassment for employees who don't want them.

Bloomberg has engaged in a pattern of behavior deriding female employees appearance and intelligence, objectifying female employees, and creating a toxic workplace culture.^3,4 And there is likely more, but employees have been forbidden to go public with their stories of sexual harassment at Bloomberg's company because of NDAs.⁵

We already have a sexual predator in the White House in Donald Trump. Silencing employees and encouraging a toxic work environment cannot be the new normal. That's why we're demanding that all presidential candidates, on both sides of the aisle, release employees who request to be from any NDAs relating to sexual assault, abuse, or harassment. 

Sign the petition :  All presidential candidates,  including Michael Bloomberg  and Donald Trump, must stop silencing  survivors and should  release former and current employees  who request to be from nondisclosure  agreements (NDAs) relating  to sexual assault, abuse, or harassment.

In addition to the infamous "Access Hollywood" video from 2016 that shows Trump bragging about committing sexual assault, at least 25 women have accused Trump of assault or harassment.⁶  We can't elect another president who mistreats and disrespects women.

This isn't complicated. All candidates can release current and former employees from NDAs relating to sexual misconduct. It really is that simple. We're calling for a new day of transparency to provide survivors with the freedom to reveal their truth.

Presidential candidates shouldn't be afraid to release current and former employees from NDAs--if they have nothing to hide.

Will you add your name to demand that anyone running for president release women from nondisclosure agreements?

Thanks for speaking out,

Shaunna, Kat, Kathy, Anathea, Sonja, Melody, Lindsay, Pam, Maria, Kimberly, Katie, JoEllen, and Sy, the UltraViolet Action team.
