Harvey Weinstein's accusers and their advocates were shocked and angered by an appellate court’s decision to overturn the ex-movie mogul’s 2020 rape conviction. But #MeToo advocates also sought to send a clear message that the movement has not been derailed. Tarana Burke, who coined the phrase “Me too” in 2006, and Anita Hill, who testified against Clarence Thomas in 1991, both urged a long view, saying no single legal ruling can reverse the tremendous cultural progress made in the last six years. The appeals court overturned the conviction in a 4-3 vote, finding the trial judge unfairly allowed testimony based on allegations that were not part of the case.
