On the second anniversary of the #MeToo movement,sleep sex videos its founder, Tarana Burke, is taking the opportunity to refocus public attention on political action. Burke announced a new hashtag #MeTooVoter on Tuesday to mobilize voters ahead of the 2020 election.
In part, this stems from the fact that sexual violence and harassment — issues central to the #MeToo movement — haven't been discussed during debates.
“You can’t have 12 million people respond to a hashtag in this country and they not be constituents, taxpayers, and voters,” #MeToo founder Tarana Burke said to 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 explained to the Associated Pressthat none of the 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls have contacted her while designing their platforms, and that this signifies a lack of urgency surrounding the topic. One of her intentions with #MeTooVoter is to inspire a question pertaining to sexual violence in the next debate, though she doesn't see this as likely during Tuesday's debate, the Associated Pressreported. Burke is also considering a town hall that focuses on the topic.
