WASHINGTON, D.C. — Comedian Russell Brand. Actor Danny Masterson. Rudy Giuliani, Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump. In recent weeks, all have made news for being the perpetrators of sexual harassment, assault and rape. And #MeToo stories are back in the news. But what’s changed? And what’s the future of the #MeToo movement?

Actress and social justice humanitarian Ashley Judd, who was among the first to go on record with revelations against Harvey Weinstein, will join in a provocative panel discussion to explore the #MeToo movement’s progress. She’ll be in conversation with National Women’s Law Center President Fatima Goss Graves, whose organization also houses the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, and 2022 TIME Woman of the Year Amanda Nguyen, whose organization, Rise, seeks to protect the civil rights of sexual assault and rape survivors, and author of The Bonobo Sisterhood: Revolution Through Female Alliance and Harvard Law professor Diane Rosenfeld. 

The panelists will explore these questions and more at the event hosted by the National Women’s History Museum and moderated by Frederique Irwin, president of the National Women’s History Museum, with opening remarks from Ms. Magazine executive editor Kathy Spillar, on October 24th at Sixth and I.
