Women in politics and Hollywood came together to talk about gender equality, the 2020 election, and sexual abuse om Feb. 19 — and the conversation that followed was equal parts uplifting and infuriating. CNN host and journalist Lisa Ling moderated a panel with actors Olivia Munn, Amber Tamblyn, and Melissa Fumero, and Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx — who is making headlines for going after R. Kelly — in a candid, moving discussion.
The event was hosted by EMILY's List, an organisation that helps elect Democratic, pro-choice women, and drew guests including Felicity Huffman and California Rep. Maxine Waters.
