Join us for a panel featuring different perspectives on the #MeToo movement from three different areas: law, media, and activism. The panel will feature Kim Trent, president of Enough Sexual Assault in Detroit (Enough SAID 490 African-American Challenge) – a grassroots volunteer campaign to raise more than $650,000 to process 1,341 abandoned DNA rape kits in Detroit; Kristen Jordan Shamus, award-winning Detroit Free Press reporter and columnist focusing on women's issues, lifestyle and family stories in metro Detroit and throughout Michigan with more than 20 years of journalism experience; and Blanche Cook, Wayne State University Law School professor who focuses on Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Race and the Law and is actively involved in shaping the emerging nationwide discourse on sex trafficking and victims’ rights as it relates to evidentiary issues, race-class-gender profiling, and sex-trafficking statutes.
The panel will be moderated by Rabbi Ariana Silverman. This event is open to the community. Wine and cheese will be served.
