In a video posted to Twitter, Julianne Moore, Alyssa Milano, America Ferrara Gabrielle Union and other women both famous and not said they believed Ford and stood with her.

“Dear Professor Ford,” the video begins as various Hollywood celebs take turns reading from a prepared script.
“We know how difficult it is to stand up to powerful people. We want to publicly thank you for sharing your story of sexual violence,” they say. “The behavior you described was wrong and runs directly counter to upholding the law and promoting justice. He should not be confirmed.”
Many other stars shared the video along with the hashtag #DearProfessorFord. The footage follows a similar video denouncing Kavanaugh by John Legend, which made the rounds on Wednesday as well.
