Workplace rights advocate and former FOX News broadcast talent Gretchen Carlson says at press conference to mark passage of the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act by voice vote that a lot of good has come from her decision to come forward and speak for the millions of others who could not, from walking the halls of Congress for five years working with both parties, and from the bill which would allow survivors a choice of secret arbitration or public courts, its dual effect of helping companies get on the right side of history and to stop bad behavior because bad actors would know that women's voices would be heard when they speak up, so five years in the rearview mirror she was incredibly bullish on the road ahead for a movement that she inadvertently helped to create because the stakes could not be higher, marching in the streets can inspire, editorials can open minds and Twitter hashtags can galvanize but legislation is the only thing that lasts on behalf of all American workers.
