I am pleased that @rustyhicks has committed to retain a workers& #39; rights law firm I trust, Altschuler Berzon, to consult with survivors in a trauma informed manner and expeditiously provide a properly redacted public accounting of @CA_Dem sexual harassment scandal. @sacbee_news https://twitter.com/rustyhicks/status/1254179009144872960">https://twitter.com/rustyhick...
I served on the Task Force that created @CA_Dem& #39;s sexual misconduct policy and code of conduct in the aftermath of the Bauman scandal. Altschuler advised the Task Force and did an outstanding job. I have long experience with this firm and there is no one I trust more for this job
It is my view that there should be a public report that gives as much information as transparently as possible while also protecting victim privacy and autonomy. I believe that @rustyhicks wants to do the right thing and will get there relatively quickly with Altschuler& #39;s help.
It is my hope that the report will also shed light on which @CA_Dem officers and managers knew about misconduct and failed to take proper actions. As Democrats we must take appropriate actions to ensure accountability and training to prevent a recurrence of this whole sorry mess.
As to the Code of Conduct, in my view there is still serious work to do. We certainly can& #39;t stop now. The wreckage of the past has not yet been fully cleared away, and I understand the hurt and fear that there will not be accountability. I am optimistic we will get there.
I look forward to hearing regular transparent updates from @rustyhicks about the progress of the public report, improvements to the Code of Conduct, and reaching a day when sexual harassment is no longer an impediment to the participation of anyone in @CA_Dem. /fin @RoKhanna
