Me Too Movement
Emily Strum
The Me Too Movement was founded in 2017 by Tarana Burke. She started using the term in 2006 and eventually gained wide spread attention. This movement has taken down some of the most powerful men in media. High profile men who have been convicted include Harvey Weinstein, Larry Nassar, and Bill Cosby.
