I’ve said repeatedly that the #metooMVMT is for all of us, including these brave young men who are now coming forward. It will continue to be jarring when we hear the names of some of our faves connected to sexual violence unless we shift from talking about individuals [+]
...and begin to talk about power. Sexual violence is about power and privilege. That doesn’t change if the perpetrator is your favorite actress, activist or professor of any gender.
And we won’t shift the culture unless we get serious about shifting these false narratives.
My hope is that as more folks come forward, particularly men, that we prepare ourselves for some hard conversations about power and humanity and privilege and harm. This issue is less about crime & punishment and more about harm and harm reduction.

At first the quote from #HenryCavill regarding #metooMVMT just annoyed me because it reinforced the ridiculous notions I hear constantly from men and trivializes the lived experience of people who have bravely spoken up...

Tonight at 10PM folks need to watch @DatelineNBC for this exclusive with @tvkatesnow interviewing the women ACTUALLY in the center of the Cosby trial #AndreaConstand. I saw clips yesterday. It is gut wrenching. #metoomvmt #supportsurvivors
This is the clip from yesterday:
*trigger warning*

Survivors please note:
IT COULD BE TRIGGERING TO WATCH

I was taken off guard and I only saw moments of it.

But it’s so necessary to hear her voice. Listen to her story in her own words. There is still SO MUCH false information going around about Cosby. Maybe this will help.

Been holding on to this news and I’m so happy to finally announce the launch of the ‘me too.’ Movement fund in partnership with the @NYWomensFdn
Funds will go to support our work and the work of others doing work to end gender based violence in marginalized communities. #metoo
The fund was seeded by a $1M donation from @NYWomensFdn but we need YOUR help to reach our goal of $2M. Part of the money will directly fund our work and the rest will be granted to community based orgs working to end sexual violence. #metooMVMT #joinus
Donations can be made at our website: metooMVMT.org
