HOW TO SUPORT #TaraReade (thread):

1. Donate to the GoFundMe. Tara lost her job/housing during a global pandemic for coming forward & needs financial support. 50% of the money raised will be donated to the @NVRDC, an org that does valuable victim advocacy work in DC.

If you are unable to donate, share the fundraiser link far and wide! Don’t let the world forget that #WeBelieveTaraReade.

“I lost my career. I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t choose that situation. I didn’t want him to look at me in an objectifying way. By doing that, he minimized me. He minimized my worth at the workplace.” - Tara Reade

Remember that financial abuse occurs in 99% of domestic violence cases, and that classism has no place in the #MeToo movement. Source: nnedv.org/content/about-…

2. Sign the petition demanding that #JoeBiden step aside and be replaced as the democratic nominee:

change.org/StepDownBiden

In her interview with @megynkelly, Tara said she wanted #JoeBiden to withdraw:

While petitions are not always effective, signing is a small and easy way to show your support not just for #TaraReade, but for all survivors of sexual violence.

People will go to great lengths to discredit Tara, as we’ve seen demonstrated again and again. They will say “no one believes her,” that she’s been “debunked.” THIS IS A LIE! #WeBelieveTaraReade and the petition is a record of support for her. change.org/StepDownBiden

3. Are you a @DemSocialists member? Ask your chapter to sign the Socialist Survivors petition in support of #TaraReade.

Over 50 DSA chapters from all across the county have signed on in support. Help us fill the map! medium.com/@socialistsurv…

Call attention to DSA chapters who have yet to sign on! In the words of Socialist Survivors, “How we [Democratic Socialists] respond to Tara Reade impacts the multi-racial, multi-gendered, and genuinely liberatory political organization we aim to build.” #WeBelieveTaraReade

4. Email the @DNC and demand an investigation into the allegation of rape against #JoeBiden: [e-mail]

When the @nytimes editorial board called for an unbiased investigation into the allegations against #JoeBiden in May, a spokesperson for the @DNC called that notion “absurd.” m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5e…

We have not forgotten the way @TomPerez and the @DNC dismissed Tara Reade. #WebelieveTaraReade and we want to the DNC to know it: Democrats.org/contact-us/

5. Email the @UDelaware and demand the immediate release of #JoeBiden’s senate files: [e-mail]

If #JoeBiden has nothing to hide, why was the release of his senate records delayed long before Reade’s allegation was publicized?

From January 2nd, 2020:
“At a time when the public may want more information on Biden’s record, documents that could shed light on his thinking from decades ago are still closed off to the public.” huffpost.com/entry/joe-bide…
