Stop sexist, racist attacks on Fani Willis
The petition to mainstream media reads:
"Stop sexist and racist media bias against Fani Willis and other women leaders and people of color."
Why is this important?
Media coverage of Donald Trump's indictment in Georgia by District Attorney Fani Willis has been shot through with sexist and racist attacks and double standards, baselessly questioning Willis' character and qualifications.
Even mainstream news outlets like The Washington Post have echoed and legitimized sexist stereotypes that have no place in our political discourse. These attacks have contributed to threats against Willis and other women of color involved in Trump's prosecution.
We're sick and tired of it and are calling on major media outlets to end the sexist and racist double-standards that remain so widespread in our news media.
