16 Women and Donald Trump: Hear Their Stories

This is serious. We owe it to all women to hold men, especially those with immense power, accountable for their actions. Yes, this includes the president too.

In the video, 16 Women and Donald Trump, we put together the stories of women who have reported being sexually harassed or sexually assaulted by Donald Trump. Seeing these women’s stories, one after another, is incredibly powerful – it's time to listen and act accordingly. As a society, we need to do a better job of holding men liable for harassment and abusive behavior. And we have a right to hear these women's their stories even as the mainstream news outlets dismiss them and the White House deflects responsibility from the president. It's time to disrupt the powers that silence the voices of women in all of our institutions. Please share this video to remind the nation that Hollywood isn't the only place abuse happens and that our current president isn’t immune to being held accountable.

I don’t remember seeing tv ads with this material during either the GOP Primary or the General Election.
It’s nice to see it now.
But why didn’t we see it when it might have helped stop him?

But, I think it was in response to news coverage of a few women speaking out against him.
I don’t remember any ads being run by Hillary’s campaign, the DNC, or other groups.

some of these young women did not get a chance to confront him. Repulsive, disgusting piss-poor excuse for a president. He seems to think he is doing the women favors by touching them. Roy Moore is not the only disgusting member of the gop. The party seems to embrace them. This time, they have outdone themselves.
