A call to action from alumni of Georgetown Prep to the entire Prep community in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
We are alumni of Georgetown Prep standing in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and in solidarity with women everywhere who have endured sexual assault, violence, and harassment. We have heard Dr. Blasey Ford’s courageous and indelible sworn testimony in open hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee and we believe her.
Georgetown Prep calls on its graduates to serve others. Principles of ethics, virtue, and justice constitute the foundation of a Prep education. These principles are but empty words unless we act on them. So we are calling on our fellow alumni to put the best of what Prep stands for into action.
The Senate has called for an FBI investigation. If you know anything surrounding the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, now is the time to come forward. Whether it is knowledge of specific events in these allegations, or just background to those events, please do not remain silent, even if speaking out comes at some personal cost.
If you do not have any knowledge of these events, please join us: add your name and your voice to this call to action. Reach out to other alumni personally. Ask questions, start conversations. Our silence will serve no one.
Sincerely,
Alumni of Georgetown Prep in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford
Fikri Yucel, Class of 1986
Bill Barbot, Class of 1986
