NOW New York President Sonia Ossorio says, "It's long overdue that we call out those Republican lawmakers and candidates who are still with Donald Trump. With his litany of hateful rhetoric against women, Mexican people, immigrants, Muslims and others, the G.O.P. should have dumped Trump long ago."

NOW NYC adds, "Women will decide this election, and we won't be complacent. Donald Trump may believe he can do whatever he wants and get away with it, but women voters will show him otherwise. We won't let him steal our future!"

Voters are watching our local candidates to see if they will reject Trump and the misogyny and intolerance that he represents, or if they will continue to stand by him. We won't vote for candidates who won't reject Trump.

This is our democracy. Donald Trump may think the presidential race is a reality show and that he can keep everyone "in suspense" about his response to the election outcome. We will show him that he cannot trump democracy.

"The pressure is on for Republicans, because women are watching," said Ossorio. "Sexual assault and sexual harassment are issues that cross the political divide, and women want to know that their representatives will draw a line against the normalized sexual violence and virulent disrespect for women that Trump promotes."

NOW New York advocates for the women and girls of New York City, by working to promote women's reproductive rights, secure women's economic empowerment, and end violence and discrimination against women.
