Dimitrios Kambouris—Getty Images for TIME On Thursday night, guests gathered in New York City to celebrate the [2024 TIME100](https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2024/), a list that ran the gamut from Hollywood's brightest stars to global leaders and changemakers. One of the night's most significant honorees, E. Jean Carroll, was surprised that she was included on this year's list—but she shouldn't have been. Last year, Carroll made headlines when she was awarded $5 million after a Manhattan jury found Trump liable for defamation and sexual abuse in [a lawsuit she filed against him for an alleged rape in the 1990s](https://time.com/6275589/e-jean-carroll-trump-civil-trial/), giving hope to survivors everywhere for justice.

Jean Carroll’s Victory Shows the #MeToo Movement Is Far From Dead_](https://time.com/6278447/e-jean-carroll-verdict-metoo-movement/) "I think that it’s a New York jury, they’re the smartest in the world, with all political backgrounds," she told TIME at the event. "They will make the right decision." With Trump emerging as the Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election, Carroll also stressed the importance of voters considering which candidates would reflect their values, especially when it came to the future of reproductive rights. "The main question we need to ask of our candidates is: do women have the rights over their own bodies?" The TIME100 Gala is TIME’s annual celebration of the TIME100 list of the world’s most influential people. The Gala brings together icons, leaders, change-makers, and celebrities from across industries and nations for one lively evening of meaningful dialogue and celebration.

But what are some things that you want voters to be thinking about and they had to the polls in November. I want to be thinking about your kids and your family this boat that you make is not just about who you're going to like to office. It's about what we want this country to be about what values we hold. It's not making sure that our kids have more right than we have today. So I want us to take that with them every single day. And remember that November 5th is the last day of this election for people that care about democracy that care about lgbtq plus ride to care about Reproductive Rights. There's something you can do every day between now and November 5th to make sure that our voices are her. Well, one of the things we talked about everyday baby the baby is that one and two families in our country are struggling to afford diapers. So we've distributed 200 million diapers to families in need and we know when we can provide diapers that families are able to put food on the table if you do lights on and pay their rent, so it's something we work on every day and we really high. That the election is based on you know, making sure that families have everything they need to provide for their children. I want them to keep in mind that Equity is possible and that means that we have to vote wisely and we have to exercise our right to vote and that we have that power. It's obvious. I want to go out and I was being insubordinate focusing on education. I think it's always I mean, who taught in schools? I know what school do you think of them red line with him in the mornings? Where are cooking taking out of Public Service Credit Union Station cknw Arts education and Rehabilitation attention to our democracy in general. Definitely I believe abortion. Salmon salad, and I think the people need to really pay attention to how their vote affects not just the next four years, but the next forty years in the next four hundred years. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-summit-gala-2024/6968840/time100-gala-e-jean-carroll-on-trumps-hush-money-trial/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-summit-gala-2024/6968840/time100-gala-e-jean-carroll-on-trumps-hush-money-trial/"},"headline":"E.
