Letters and phone calls pouring in. Protesters flooding the Capitol building. An angry confrontation in an elevator.

Last year people took to social media at the height of the #MeToo movement to stand in solidarity with sexual assault survivors in the public eye. Now they are uniting again behind Christine Blasey Ford.

Ally Coll Steele says she was sexually assaulted by a Democratic senator as an 18-year-old intern. The onetime Hill staffer left her law firm last year to start a nonprofit to combat sexual harassment, and the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation process has her sharing her story again.

She wrote a letter to Republicans Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins and Jeff Flake. The latter announced on Friday morning he would vote “yes” on the Supreme Court nominee.

“I chose to write to you not only because you are key votes on the nomination, but because your public comments before yesterday’s hearing indicated you understand this is a civil rights issue, not just a political one. I hope I am right about that, because the country is watching,” she wrote.
