Our co-founder @SheerineA shares an important perspective to consider around sexual assault on @wttw Chicago Tonight when discussing the Ansari allegations: https://t.co/kTNwhFZKcg
I disagree with the framing of consent and comprehensive sex education being "too late" at any point. That is defeatist and cynical. It's not that it's too late to learn; it's that it's never too early. We should begin when kids are young, and continue.
A complex problem requires a complex solution. Training is not enough to shift cultural attitudes. We need deep conversations about gender in every aspect of our lives and spaces where survivors are believed #MeToo#cultureshift#NiUnaMas https://t.co/FEx6Ha2ezk
Before #MeToo , women on the night shift spoke out to end workplace sexual violence & led grassroots efforts to prevent violence from happening to janitors in #California#TimesUp#YaBasta https://t.co/QsiOtKKMfy
...and we must also lift up a new generation of activists who have been equally passionate and resolute in transforming their communities' responses to sexual violence #MLKJrDay#WeRise#MeToo#TimesUp
...as we move towards a collective strategy to address sexual violence in our workplaces - a civil rights, racial justice, gender justice, and economic justice issue - we must absorb the lessons of generations of freedom fighters before us #MLKJrDay ...
Honored to have joined @BarbaraRansby @BYP_100 @pinkhardhats81 & the Chicago Women's History Center for back to back film screenings and public dialogue about the documentary "Anita: Speaking Truth to Power" on #MLKJrDay ...
