We Have Her Back  “Too ambitious. Too angry. Too persistent. Too old. Too young. Nasty.”   TIME'S UP is putting the news media on notice: No more sexism in political coverage, dear friend! Sign TIME'S UP petition now. >> ⇩⇩SIGN NOW⇩⇩ KEEP THE SEXIST AND RACIST ATTACKS OF WOMEN LEADERS OUT OF POLITICAL COVERAGE                 Dear friend,         This past November we made history when Kamala Harris was elected Vice President of the United States.   And while Vice President Harris herself has promised to be the first of many women in this role, the reality is that racist and sexist rhetoric holds far too many women back from leadership at every level of government.   The news media has proved again and again that they play a huge part in perpetuating sexist and racist tropes about the ambition, likeability, looks, or attitude of women candidates and public officials — especially women of color.   We need your help to make sure news editors and opinion leaders continue to hear our message. So far, 21,000 supporters have signed this petition and as that number continues to grow, the media won’t be able to ignore us. Tell the news media to keep sexist and racist attacks of women leaders out of their political coverage.           SIGN NOW           Dear friend, with an unprecedented number of women in office and high-level government positions, and with so many others now inspired to follow, the fight continues to ensure that sexist and racist rhetoric in the news media does not derail the ambitions of future women leaders. Let's keep showing up for women because when they’re empowered and safe enough to lead, things change. Sign now to join TIME'S UP and take action today. #WeHaveHerBack           SIGN NOW           With gratitude,       Stacey Ferguson Digital Director TIME’S UP Now                                                              TIME’S UP Now.
