Meet Tarana Burke, Activist Who Started “Me Too” Campaign to Ignite Conversation on Sexual Assault

Activist Tarana Burke says she started the “Me Too” campaign as a grassroots movement about a decade ago to aid sexual assault survivors in underprivileged communities, where rape crisis centers and sexual assault workers weren’t going. We spoke with her in the Democracy Now! studio on Tuesday:

“For every R. Kelly or Bill Cosby or Harvey Weinstein, there’s, you know, the owner of the grocery store, the coach, the teacher, the neighbor, who are doing the same things. But we don’t pay attention until it’s a big name. And we don’t pay attention ‘til it’s a big celebrity. But this work is ongoing, because this is pervasive.”
