Me Too founder Tarana Burke wants to turn sexual-violence survivors into a powerful voting bloc

The Me Too movement founder talks about her new Me Too agenda.
Activist and advocate Tarana Burke has spent 30 years raising awareness of sexual violence and working to eradicate it. Burke, who currently serves as the chief vision officer of the nonprofit organization Me Too Movement, coined the phrase “Me Too” in 2006 as a way show young women of color who had experienced sexual violence that they were not alone. The phrase took off as a hashtag on social media in 2017 in the wake of sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein and other high-profile men. Since then, Burke’s organization has partnered with groups including &Rise, Black Women’s Blueprint, and Callisto to support survivors of sexual violence in more than 80 countries.https://www.fastcompany.com/91299419/me-too-founder-tarana-burke-sexual-violence-survivors-powerful-voting-bloc
