It's been five years since #MeToo went viral after actress Alyssa Milano tweeted “me too” and encouraged others who had experienced sexual harassment to do the same, though activist Tarana Burke originally coined the phrase “me too” in 2006. The #MeToo movement sparked a societal reckoning as thousands of women's voices about the sexual violence they'd experienced at the hands of powerful men put a spotlight on gender inequities and power dynamics. No longer silent, this collective of voices resulted in real-world consequences that spread around the world, with heads of companies being fired and public figures being held accountable. As #MeToo was gaining momentum and the Harvey Weinsten scandal was dominating the news, the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund was launched to offer legal assistance to survivors of harassment and assault. In this episode of Breaking the Bias, Holly Corbett, VP of Content for Consciously Unbiased, speaks with Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women's Law Center and co-founder of Time's Up Legal Defense Fund. This episode covers: How the National Women's Law Center started the Time's Up legal Defense Fund as the Harvey Weinstein case broke. Today 6,000 people have gone to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund for help, and they have a network of 400 attorneys. What the #MeToo movement means today, and a growing awareness of Black survivors of sexual violence and other people with marginalized identities, and how they see themselves as part of this movement. What needs to happen next to help keep fighting sexual harassment in the workplace and protect against retaliation for those who report it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/consciously-unbiased/message

Hospitals in states with low vaccination rates are overwhelmed with coronavirus cases. ProPublica looks at the harmful, or even fatal, consequences for non-COVID patients. The Hollywood Reporter found that a recent report tying Time’s Up to former NY governor Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment scandal has left survivors disillusioned and put the future of the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund in question. Workers across many industries say they’re still seeing a lot of bad behavior from customers. The Wall Street Journal spoke with psychologists who explain what makes this phase of the pandemic particularly difficult and why its leading to high levels of stress. Tourism boards in cities across the world are asking tourists to be respectful on their trips. CNN explains that places like Iceland and New Zealand are even asking visitors to sign a pledge.

In this episode we speak with employment lawyer Alex Berke. She breaks down Andrew Cuomo's violation of his own sexual harassment laws. If you or someone you know is experiencing sexual or gender based harassment at work please do not hesitate to reach out to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund here. The initial consultation is free of charge.

In our pilot episode, Laura meets with Emily Martin, Vice President for Education and Workplace Justice at the National Women's Law Center, to discuss the investigation and subsequent resignation of former New York Governor Cuomo. They review the investigation process, the impact this event has made on the #MeToo movement, and how the National Women's Law Center and TIME's UP Legal Defense Fund continues to connect victims of sexual discrimination and harassment with the legal assistance they need.

*This episode was recorded while Hillary was in-transit, sound quality is limited.* "I consider our country as a whole" is how Hillary Johns explains her appreciation and love for the variety of experiences our country offers. As a bi-coastal attorney, Hillary explores everything from entertainment law, civil litigation, business law, torts, employment law, to outdoors activities like hiking and camping, and even volunteers to work with animals. We spoke of the need for people who work hard in one aspect of their lives to take breaks and have hobbies complete outside of that particular work environment. It can be surprising to hear what people choose in that way, from fostering older shelter animals, to beadworking and fly fishing. Hillary's career has taken some interesting twists and turns that I'm sure listeners will find inspiring and fascinating. --- Hillary Johns is a member of the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

In an exclusive Democracy Now! TV/radio broadcast, we speak with Tara Reade, the former staffer in Joe Biden's Senate office who has come forward with allegations that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993. Last week, The Intercept reported that the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund, set up to help survivors of rape and sexual assault, refused to fund a #MeToo investigation into allegations against Biden. Reade told journalist Katie Halper in an interview published Tuesday that Biden repeatedly touched her without her consent and sexually assaulted her. Reade approached the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund in January looking for assistance, but was reportedly told the fund could not help her because Biden is a candidate for federal office, and pursuing a case could jeopardize the fund's nonprofit status. Reade says she learned from The Intercept report that the public relations firm representing Time's Up Legal Defense Fund is SKDKnickerbocker, whose managing director, Anita Dunn, is top adviser to Biden's presidential campaign.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast series Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Tracey Diamond, who is Of Counsel at the law firm Pepper Hamilton in Philadelphia.   Tracey practices employment discrimination law at Pepper Hamilton and also provides human resources counseling to businesses. She also regularly counsels clients on workplace issues like sexual harassment. Because of her experience we thought she would be the perfect person to bring on to discuss the #MeToo movement.   Because sexual harassment is the core problem the #MeToo movement is addressing, Aaron and Tracey start the episode by defining what sexual harassment is. Tracey explains that sexual harassment is a form of discrimination that is addressed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Title VII divides sexual harassment into two categories, Quid Pro Quo which is when an employee is forced to do something or face a consequence: “do this or you’re fired” or “do this and you get a promotion.” Second, is a hostile work environment which means events have transpired and the employee doesn’t feel comfortable in the work environment anymore.   Tracey explains throughout the episode what steps employers can take to reduce the risk of these issues occurring and what steps employees can take if they face sexual harassment in the workplace.   To learn more about the #MeToo movement visit their website: https://metoomvmt.org/ To learn more about the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund visit their website: https://www.timesupnow.com/ To contact Tracey directly you can email her at: diamondt@pepperlaw.com   Join Aaron Freiwald and Tracey Diamond to learn more about the law behind the #MeToo movement and what we can do to put an end to this problem.   Remember to tune in every Friday for new episodes of Good Law | Bad Law!   Host: Aaron Freiwald Guest: Tracey Diamond   Follow Good Law | Bad Law: YouTube: Good Law | Bad Law Instagram: @GoodLawBadLaw Website: https://www.GoodLawBadLawPodcast.com
