Former Fox News host [Gretchen Carlson](http://motto.time.com/4724578/equal-pay-day-gretchen-carlson/) has called on her Twitter followers to pressure Congress into passing the [Fairness in Arbitration Act](http://motto.time.com/4698538/gretchen-carlson-sexual-harassment-arbitration-clauses/), which seeks to ensure that all Americans can hold large corporations accountable for wrongdoing in court.

“The only way to end harassment is to shine a light on it. Ask Congress to pass the Fairness in Arbitration Act. No more silencing women!” Carlson tweeted on Wednesday.

> [](https://twitter.com/GretchenCarlson/status/854813965049888774)

Carlson’s tweet came a couple hours after 21st Century Fox [announced that Bill O’Reilly would not be returning to Fox News](http://time.com/4746522/bill-oreilly-factor-fox-news-show/) amid accusations of sexual harassment and buy-outs to prevent accusers from speaking out. O’Reilly’s ouster took place after several women came forward to accuse him on sexual harassment.

Last year, Carlson played a significant role in the resignation of former Fox News Chairman and CEO [Roger Ailes](http://time.com/4413767/roger-ailes-fox-news-resigns-rupert-murdoch/), who was accused of sexually harassing dozens of women during his tenure. Carlson was the first to file a lawsuit in July 2016 alleging that she was fired from her job weeks earlier — the final day of her contract — for refusing to have sex with Ailes. Carlson received a $20 million settlement from 21st Century Fox in September.
