Trump has vowed to defund Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. He believes women should find new jobs if they are sexually harassed at work andblames victims for being sexually assaulted in the military. He has repeatedly made sexist and degrading attacks against women, calling women he does not like "dogs" and "fat pigs." He once reportedlytold a friend that "You have to treat [women] like shit."
In the video, Tamblyn, Kravitz, and others read some of Trump's offensive quotes aloud and urge women to get out and vote. "Women can and will stop Trump," says Kravitz. Cosby Show actress Erika Alexander chimes in, "Because if we vote all together, we will decide who the next president will be."
"The only thing more powerful than hearing Donald Trump's own offensive words is when they are said by powerful women," said Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY's List, in a press release.
In the 2012 election, women made up 53 percent of voters. "By coming together and pledging to stop Trump, women across the country – who make up the majority of voters – will prevent this dangerous, divisive man from becoming commander-in-chief," said Schriock. "We are proud of our growing, grassroots campaign to make sure every woman in this country knows that together we have the power to stop Trump,"
"We can't let him win," says Tamblyn, as Guerrero adds, "We can't let what he stands for win."
Election Day is Nov. 8. If you haven't registered to vote yet, you can do so here.
