Three 15-year-old girls in Idaho have penned an open letter supporting
Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett
Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when the two were teenagers.
The letter, created Wednesday by teenagers who identify themselves as Layla,
Charlotte and Jessica, is being driven by Change.org, a website that allows
people to start and sign petitions that “call for social change.”
The petition, which has a goal of 1,000 signatures, had reached 723
signatures by Thursday afternoon.
In their letter, the three teens commend Ford for going public this week
with her allegations. Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her
at a party when the two were in high school in the 1980s. Ford originally
made the accusations anonymously, but identified herself Sunday in The
Washington Post after her accusation was brought to light.
“We are fifteen-year-old girls. Fifteen,” the teenagers wrote. “The same
age you were when seventeen-year-old Brett Kavanaugh assaulted you, when he
put his hand over your mouth so no one could hear you scream."
“We imagine you at that party, so young and vivacious, with your whole life
ahead of you, and we see ourselves,” the letter continues. “Our hearts
break for the fifteen-year-old girl who walked in, and how different that
girl was who walked out. We feel connected to the 15-year-old girl still
living inside of you, and are outraged by the seventeen-year-old boy still
living inside of him.”
The teenagers wrote that Ford’s decision to speak out was “powerful” and
said they couldn’t trust Kavanaugh “to make decisions that will impact
girls.”
“We realize the effects of what happened are impacting him as it has
impacted you, only he has not been living with the consequences. He denies
it ever happened.”
“We know the possibility of Kavanaugh being in a powerful position has made
it necessary to speak up, yet we haven’t heard if you will testify on
Monday,” the girls wrote. “We know how scary that must feel—and we know
you are probably tired of people feeling things for you. We hope you will
take this chance to make your voice heard, to speak on your own terms, in
your own way.”
“Now is a courageous time and a brave time, too, to finally let your voice
be heard. Telling your truth will get us one step closer to the world we
want to live into; one where seventeen-year-old boys are taught that it is
not ok to exploit girls and that fifteen-year-old girls know their bodies
are their own,” the letter continued.
“You are strong and the fifteen-year-old girl in you is strong. We are with
you and so is everyone who signs this letter,” the teens added.
GOP lawmakers have pushed this week for Ford to appear before a Senate
Judiciary Committee hearing on Monday to review her allegations. But Ford,
through her lawyer, has said she will not testify until the FBI investigates
her allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh.
The FBI has not opened a criminal investigation, saying the allegation does
not involve a federal crime. The White House has not directed the FBI to
reopen Kavanaugh’s background investigation, despite calls from Democrats.
