📣Our exclusive with @The19thNews is out on @NWDefenseLeague's new report. @edavidsontribbs and I sat down with @grace_panetta to talk about the research and the state of the #MeToo movement. Topline: We are just getting started.

[Grace Panetta @grace_panetta]

Exclusive: new research from @NWDefenseLeague, shared first with The 19th, has tracked 30 allegations of workplace sexual misconduct against members of Congress made since 2006 — a number the report’s authors say is likely 3-4x higher in reality https://t.co/VJryh99n74

[Grace Panetta @grace_panetta]

It cannot be overstated how many men in positions of power in the fields of business/finance, politics and entertainment got there because they married into generational wealth and benefited from their wives’ financial safety net, social status and connections

[Grace Panetta @grace_panetta]

And yet, it’s consistently women who are labeled as “gold diggers” and accused of “sleeping our way to the top.” Funny how that works!

[Cheyenne Hunt @CheyenneHuntCA]

The New York Times covered how social media tools helped Eric Swalwell target women and ultimately led to his demise. I am beyond grateful to these incredibly brave women for trusting me and @ms_frazzled with their stories. It has been the honor of a lifetime to stand beside them. While Swalwell's career is over, the fight continues. He is still using his campaign resources to intimidate survivors and Congress has yet to change the rules that allow bad actors to evade accountability. https://t.co/z14whilzcy

@CheyenneHuntCA @ms_frazzled 👏👏👏 The way women help each other will never not be the whole point and the way forward. Grateful for your efforts and for telling the story that’s so often hidden about what survivors go through just to get the truth out and seek justice.

[Cheyenne Hunt @CheyenneHuntCA]

Swalwell is STILL on Snapchat. Specifically, he is using the app to contact and intimidate women he once preyed upon. https://t.co/hG8HP2IBWm

I skipped the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this year.

Instead, I went to the memorial of my friend, Virginia Giuffre.

Covering Jeffrey Epstein changed my career. Knowing Virginia changed me.

She carried so much—and still found a way to be light.

I won’t forget her.

[NWDL - National Women's Defense League @NWDefenseLeague]

"Let’s be clear: The #MeToo movement didn’t go away. But every accusation in these reports shows that the burden of coming forward, holding powerful accountable, and demanding policies that will prevent sexual harassment and abuse still falls on survivors."
