On Oct. 15, 2017, a tweet helped spark a movement. Alyssa Milano said on Twitter, “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.”

It wasn’t the first time the phrase “me too” was promoted in that context. You can thank founder Tarana Burke for that. A sexual assault survivor herself, Burke has been working on “me too” since the mid-2000s.
