(This case is alleged and ongoing) MeToo founder Tarana Burke explains why the Cornell 7 case has resonated so deeply with survivors, saying that you don’t have to have the exact same experience to recognize what it feels like to lose control over your body. The case centers on allegations from a Cornell student identified as Jane Doe, who claims she was raped by seven Chi Phi fraternity members in 2024. After the Tompkins County District Attorney’s Office initially declined to prosecute, the investigation was recently reopened, with New York Attorney General Letitia James appointed as special prosecutor. For survivors, Burke says, the response to Jane Doe’s story reflects the same recognition behind MeToo: “We know it in our bones, we know it in our spirits, in our bodies, we know it in our lived reality what this is.” Read the full essay here: time-magazine.visitlink.me/M…
