Demand to have more women as debate moderators

Demand to have more women as debate moderators

    We have one week until the first presidential debate. Can you join other UltraViolet members in flooding the Presidential Debates Commission with calls?

    This commission is the same one that thinks all the presidential debates this year should be moderated by men--and that the lone woman moderator can't handle a debate on her own.

    But after NBC's Matt Lauer completely botched the presidential forum with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the demand for women anchors who will keep the candidates accountable to women's issues has gotten louder. It's our chance to make sure the commission appoints more Rachel Maddows and fewer Matt Lauers to the debates.
