We are alumnae of Mount Holyoke, Barnard, Bryn Mawr, Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley and
Vassar, and we are writing, independently of our institutions, in support of Dr. Christine Blasey
Ford. This letter was inspired by the open letter from alumnae of Holton-Arms School.
We believe Dr. Blasey Ford. It is really that simple, and that important.
Her story demands an independent investigation before the Senate can reasonably vote on
Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to a lifetime SCOTUS seat.
Sincerely,
Seven Sisters Alumnae in Support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
