From MeToo to WeDo
7:50 – 8:25 p.m.
Through the eyes of two Cosby survivors and two Weinstein survivors, we’ll catch up on the #MeToo and #Time’sUp movements and explore what’s happened (and what hasn’t) since the sexual abuse and rape allegations against Bill Cosby, and how reporting on Weinstein’s abusive behavior opened the floodgates for women everywhere to speak out and pursue justice. We’ll look at how far we’ve come, how far we still have to go, and what we can do. We’ll witness the loving and ultimately game-changing unions forged among the survivors – who have worked to put legislation and regulations in place to stop the cycle of abuse in the Hollywood system. Through speaking out and innovating new organizations, these brave women are forcing industry-wide change.
