In January 2021, Young Americans for Liberty president Cliff Maloney was fired following a flood of accusations—using Twitter hashtag #YALtoo—of rape, sexual assault, harassment, and a toxic, misogynist culture at YAL. #NHPolitics 2/9
Among the reports was an accusation that NH congressional candidate and former state Rep. Tim Baxter (R-Seabrook) groped a fellow YAL state chair. "[H]is groping me started my dive into YAL's sham HR and spiraled into #YALtoo." #NHPolitics 3/9
In 2019 I joined YAL and that summer participated in OWD. I was sexually harassed by my boss and decided it was for the best for me to resign from OWD. I was so hesitant to come forward about everything cause I knew YAL was a boys club and I was scared I wouldn’t be believed.
I wrote emails to YAL explaining everything that happened and how I would be leaving the campaign. I sent the email to my coworkers as well because I believed that they should know the truth about our boss.
I left that day and was later told by my coworkers that one of the higher ups came and bought them all a steak dinner and told them they weren’t allowed to have contact with me until the campaign was over. My offended stepped down and I was reassured he wouldn’t be hired again.
I can vouch for this story. I am Autistic and was a State Chair under the same RD. Thread below. #YALtoo
My first impression of this RD was during the January 2020 Leadership Training Summit. During this summit, when teaching State Chairs how to deal with people who are new to activism, he said something like, “You can’t go around autistically screeching all your life.”
He made one or two more Autism jokes during said speech. This infuriated me, ruined my entire day. I didn’t even have the strength to confront him about it.
I haven’t fought for acceptance for so many years to be treated like that.
