Tarana Burke and Alyssa Milano on the Future of #MeToo
October 25, 2018
One year ago this month, the first bombshell allegations against Harvey Weinstein appeared in The New York Times and The New Yorker. Shortly thereafter, #MeToo went viral on social media. But the origins of this movement are at least a decade older. They lie with the work of Tarana Burke, a civil rights advocate devoted to fighting sexual harassment and violence. We talk to Tarana and Alyssa Milano — actor, activist, and ACLU Artist Ambassador for Reproductive Freedom — whose tweet helped bring #MeToo mainstream.
