Join PublicSource for an evening with Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement.

The simple yet courageous #MeToo campaign has emerged as a rallying cry for people everywhere who have survived sexual assault and sexual harassment. Tarana’s powerful and poignant story behind creating what is now an international movement that supports survivors will move, uplift and inspire you.

Now a senior director of programs at Brooklyn-based Girls for Gender Equity, Tarana has dedicated more than 25 years of her life to social justice and helping young women of color who have experienced sexual abuse and assault.

On stage, she provides words of empowerment that lift up marginalized voices, enable survivors of all backgrounds to know they are not alone, and creates a place for comfort and healing to those who have experienced trauma.

Lecture and Tarana questions beginning at 7:00 p.m., panel Q & A at 8:00 p.m., followed by Meet & Greet at 8:30 p.m. (Private reception at 6:00 p.m.)

Special thanks to FISA Foundation, Jewish Healthcare Foundation, UPMC Center for Engagement and Inclusion, Calvary Episcopal Church, and other sponsors for making this lecture possible.
