Tasha Kaminsky reaches out to then-Treasurer Tishaura O. Jones to discuss Nick Apperson. Key quotes from the conversation:
Tasha Kaminsky (Dec 5, 2017, 12:56 PM):
“I'm attempting to have some accountability for what Nick has done in organizations and political spaces. I have no idea if I can achieve it, but having someone as respectable as you calling for accountability could make an impact. Organizations and politicians have taken money from Nick and in return they have seemingly turned a blind eye to Nick assaulting and harassing and trapping women, especially woc from those places.”
Tasha Kaminsky (Dec 5, 2017, 12:58 PM):
“Cori got a $2,700 gift from Nick shortly after one of their exes accused them of rape. Cori hasn't responded to anyone asking about that gift.”
Tishaura O. Jones (Dec 5, 2017, 1:29 PM):
“Cori told me she was raped.....”
Tasha Kaminsky (Dec 5, 2017, 1:34 PM):
“Thank you for listening to me and believing me. I certainly don't want to drag you into something you aren't comfortable being in. I think you do have credibility and impact on the community and what you say has weight, as it should. I want accountability and to me that looks like at the very least the people who took money realizing that it has led to women being in danger, and for Nick to have their access to vulnerable women cut off.”
Tishaura O. Jones (Dec 5, 2017, 1:35 PM):
“Do you mind if I talk to Bruce about a joint statement?”
Tasha Kaminsky (Dec 5, 2017, 1:18 PM):
“We're talking something like 20+ women now. Two allegations of sexual coercion. One accusation of stalking. Endless accusations of harassment and abuse.”
Tasha Kaminsky (Dec 11, 2017, 6:14 PM):
“Hi Tishaura, I just wanted to touch base with you and see where things are at with Bruce and Cori. I have a meeting tomorrow with some of the women who are stuck with Nick Apperson as their landlord and I'd love to be able to tell them some good news.”
Tasha Kaminsky (Dec 26, 2017, 12:02 PM):
“i think at this point, in the case of nick, what will make an impact on the situation are two things: 1) warning other women, especially women doing social justice work, especially woc. those are the women nick preys on and nick needs to have their access cut off. 2) pressuring nick and other organizations to do accountability work because right now there are still a few hold outs including nick who are acting like this will blow over and no one will have to do anything.”
Tasha Kaminsky (Dec 26, 2017, 12:18 PM):
“i understand if legal constraints make it hard for you/bruce to put nick on blast publicly. it would reach more people than i could reach and lend credibility. i don't think nick is going to try and go after white women anymore. that bit him when he did it to me. i know he's currently squatting at his girlfriend's apartment. she's a young black woman. she's been warned but who knows what he's told her.”Open original PDF
