In 2006, Tarana Burke was consumed by a desire to do something about the rampant sexual violence she saw in her community. She took out a piece of paper, wrote "Me Too" across the top and laid out an action plan for a movement centered on the power of empathy between survivors.

"We owe future generations nothing less than a world free of sexual violence," she says. "I believe we can build that world."
