Original tweet from Alyssa Milano that triggered the recent #metoo movement.

STARTED: 2009, re-popularized in Fall 2017

​

FORMED BY: Tarana Burke

​

GOAL: “Me too was about reaching the places that other people wouldn’t go, bringing messages and words and encouragement to survivors of sexual violence where other people wouldn’t be talking about it[...]A catchphrase to be used from survivor to survivor to let folks know that they were not alone and that a movement for radical healing was happening and possible.”
