Congressional
Anti-Sexual Harassment

Training Resolution



Despite an ongoing problem with sexual harassment complaints on The Hill, Congress has been reluctant to institute mandatory anti-sexual harassment training. After campaigning for this measure for many years, California Democrat Jackie Speier has succeeded in bringing a resolution to a vote. The Senate recently enacted a similar measure, and the House is due to vote early this week.

However, mandatory training does not go far enough to address the problem: current reporting procedures discriminate against the complainant, and secrecy shrouds the names of Congressional representatives whose behavior has lead to settlements paid for by tax dollars.

Action:

Contact your Member of Congress to ask that:

1. they vote in favor of Rep. Speier’s  anti-sexual harassment training resolution;
2. they insist on streamlined, transparent reporting procedures which are in line with those used elsewhere in government; and
3. they release the names of lawmakers whose behavior has lead to settlements paid for out of the Congressional budget (i.e. by us)
