Seven former congressional staffers who experienced sexual harassment or assault while working on Capitol Hill sent a letter to House and Senate leaders Thursday urging them to enact changes to harassment and discrimination policies.

“We write to remind you, and every member of the 115th Congress, not only of the pain we suffered, but also of the shame and humiliation that current staffers must bear when they too are victimized by harmful and discriminatory actions from a member of Congress, a supervisor, or a colleague,” wrote the seven women.

The former staffers include Lauren Greene, whose harassment claim against Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas, prompted his resignation, and Anna Kain, whose harassment by a top aide in Rep. Elizabeth Esty’s, D-Conn., office led Esty to abandon re-election and acknowledge she had mishandled Kain’s complaint.

The letter comes as the Senate is grappling with a sexual assault allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and nearly a year after the #MeToo movement brought workplace sexual harassment into the national spotlight.

“In every building, down every hallway, and behind every door in Congress are good, honest people — often young people — working long hours for little pay in hopes of making our country and the world fairer and more just,” the seven women wrote.
