Hollywood actresses and Watch Brooklyn Ninewomen from around the U.S., some being key members of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements, have shown their support for Christine Blasey Ford.
Blasey, a professor at California's Palo Alto University, who recently accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, has seen significant public support after she made the difficult decision to publicly share her story.

It's signed collectively from "your sisters."

"We applaud your courage in coming forward for the public good, and we will be with you as you face the inevitable backlash," the letter reads.
"You are strong. And you are not alone. You are a survivor. Millions of us have your back. You and your testimony are credible."
It finishes with three little words many of the women in this video would have craved to hear when some of them, like Union, bravely came forward with their own stories of sexual abuse.
"We believe you."
Here's the full letter, which is best read by the women themselves in the video. It ends with a call to action, for people to call their senators to demand a "full, fair, and trauma-informed investigation."
Dear Professor Ford.
We know how difficult it is to stand up to powerful people. We want to thank you for publicly sharing your story of sexual violence. As members of the Senate determine whether Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should serve as a Supreme Court Justice, this context is critical.
The behavior you described was wrong, and runs directly counter to upholding the law and promoting justice. He should not be confirmed.
We can also imagine how shocking and overwhelming it must have been to have your truths shared on a national stage without your permission. You should be the only decision maker about how your story is shared, if ever."
We applaud your courage in coming forward for the public good, and we will be with you as you face the inevitable backlash.
You are strong. And you are not alone. You are a survivor. Millions of us have your back. You and your testimony are credible.
We believe you.
Signed,
Your sisters.
Though a new Senate hearing on the accusation was scheduled for Monday, Blasey has requested an FBI investigation be done before she testifies, but left open the possibility that she might appear before the committee.
