MeToo founder launches new hashtag to mobilize voters for 2020 election
"We need these candidates to see us as a power base. So many people engage with survivors from a place of pity," Tarana Burke said about the new hashtag #MeTooVoter.
"You can't have 12 million people respond to a hashtag in this country and they not be constituents, taxpayers and voters," said in an interview with The Associated Press. "We need these candidates to see us as a power base. So many people engage with survivors from a place of pity." Burke said that nearly a year into the Democratic primary, none of the 2020 hopefuls has spoken to her as they have shaped their presidential platforms, which she said points to a lack of urgency even amid a climate of increased awareness around the issue. She hopes #MeTooVoter will prompt debate moderators to ask a question about sexual violence at the next debate, but does not expect the topic to come up on Tuesday.
The hearing, watched by millions and seen as a major turning point in the MeToo movement, was seen by some women as a setback to efforts to hold men accountable for sexual violence. For Burke, the moment was a turning point.
