Time’s Up in Work and Politics: How the Me Too Movement Creates Permanent Change
Generously Sponsored by Gayle and Bob Jacobs
Sexual harassment has been a pervasive cancer on the
path for women’s equality. When Harvey Weinstein
was finally caught by the New York Times and the New
Yorker, America got a public wake-up call as industry
after industry began purging their own sexual
harassers. Yet, in so many workplaces — especially
those with low-wages — not enough has changed. A
movement has spawned and many organizations —
especially Time’s Up formed by the women of
Hollywood — aim to keep the momentum growing.
As a longtime political analyst and a Founder of the
Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund which supports
survivors of sexual assault and harassment in the
workplace, Rosen has a unique perspective on how
these issues are playing out in the boardroom and
voting booth and at kitchen tables across America.
