We also believe Christine Blasey Ford,” the ad read. Published in the _Times_ Wednesday, the ad pays homage to a 1991 campaign supporting Anita Hall, who accused then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. At that time, 1,600 black women listed their names in the _Times_ in support of Hill_._ Twenty-seven-years later, the men are taking a similar stand for Ford, calling for her account to be “carefully and full examined without bias or prejudice.” Ford alleges that an intoxicated Kavanaugh [attempted to remove her clothes](http://time.com/5397627/brett-kavanaugh-sexual-assault/) and covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming at a high school house party in 1982\. Kavanaugh, who faces [additional accusations](http://time.com/5407289/brett-kavanaugh-julie-swetnick-congress/) of sexual assault, has denied any misconduct. > [](https://twitter.com/MuhammadLila/status/1045068829338923009) Wednesday’s ad was organized by the [Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign](https://phenomenalwoman.us/products/new-york-times-phenomenal-woman) and [Futures Without Violence](https://www.futureswithoutviolence.org/), a nonprofit that aims to end domestic and sexual violence. Extra money raised by the $100,000 [crowdfunding campaign](https://www.mightycause.com/story/1600men) will be donated to violence prevention programs, according to the organizers. “For decades, a culture of misogyny has allowed men to act with impunity and without consequence. We demand an end to that culture…That is why we are speaking out today,” the ad’s text reads. It concludes by quoting Hill, who [recently wrote](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/18/opinion/anita-hill-brett-kavanaugh-clarence-thomas.html), “There is no way to redo 1991, but there are ways to do better.” Read a full list of the ad signatories [here](https://phenomenalwoman.us/pages/signatories). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5407772/1600-men-ad-christine-blasey-ford/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5407772/1600-men-ad-christine-blasey-ford/"},"headline":"'We Believe Survivors.' 1,600 Men Sign a Full-Page Ad Supporting Christine Blasey Ford","datePublished":"2018-09-27T06:20:14.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T21:33:33.017Z","description":"The ad recalls a 1991 campaign supporting Anita Hill","url":"https://time.com/5407772/1600-men-ad-christine-blasey-ford/","keywords":["Supreme Court","onetime","overnight"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc965d847b06ef543/69893b35457a522ce1d5f7c6/gettyimages-984909592.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eli Meixler","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/eli/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc965d847b06ef543/69893b35457a522ce1d5f7c6/gettyimages-984909592.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Man holding the New York Times in his hand.","caption":"Man holding the New York Times in his hand.","creditText":"Andia—UIG/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/supreme-court/","name":"Supreme Court"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5407772/1600-men-ad-christine-blasey-ford/","name":"'We Believe Survivors.' 1,600 Men Sign a Full-Page Ad Supporting Christine Blasey Ford"}}]}] ```
