Six women of color quit Warren’s Nevada campaign citing a 'toxic' work environment
. The women said they quit because they felt they were there as tokens and were “routinely silenced” and sidelined.
Field organizer Megan Lewis explained to Politico why she quit. “During the time I was employed with Nevada for Warren, there was definitely something wrong with the culture. I filed a complaint with HR, but the follow-up I received left me feeling as though I needed to make myself smaller or change who I was to fit into the office culture,” she said.
“I felt like a problem — like I was there to literally bring color into the space but not the knowledge and voice that comes with it,” another former staffer who wished to remain anonymous told Politico, adding, “We all were routinely silenced and not given a meaningful chance on the campaign. Complaints, comments, advice, and grievances were met with an earnest shake of the head and progressive buzzwords but not much else.
In addition to feeling personally marginalized, the women said that the campaign did not prioritize getting campaign literature in Spanish, hiring Spanish-fluent organizers or hosting events in Spanish, which they say hindered outreach to the Latino community.
