And if they found credible evidence that something happened with the with the judge of the trial and during the thing during the trial then I think just like any other citizen. He should be treated equally under the law and he deserves to have a fair share under the law on innocent till proven guilty again. It doesn't mean that I think that he's innocent but Donald Trump is downtown in Manhattan. He's being he's in front of a judge and the jury and I think everyone should be treated fairly and under the system and it should be adjudicated properly right now looks up and knows that there's a community of people that have their back. There are people here they're willing to fight for them. No matter what and the way that progress work. Sometimes we make advancements and sometimes we get pushed back but we are in this for the Long Haul and I hope that everyone knows it's so many of us here at the time 100. We are here because we need to believe in them. We believe in their stories and we believe that there is work ahead to make sure that there's two Justice forever survive. We all know that survivors that the courts feel us and so I want everyone especially survivors to know that they are not alone. Despite this we have been fighting that they are holding the line. We believe them and even when we have these setbacks, we know we know our truth and they're not alone. We will get through this alone. Again. This is a movement because we stand together and we move together. I think that people when they see like sayings like hashtags go viral and make some misunderstand we're moving to our movements and made of people and the one thing that the Survivor Justice movement has a lot of people and I think they were we stand historically is that movement always have disappointments. And so while I was disappointed disappointed in what I saw today, I don't see it as a setback. I see you have to always have strategy. What I see is a setback for the judges. I see that the judges clue didn't get it, you know, we put a lot of information. Not that we've got a lot of work and they clearly didn't get it send me we have more work to do. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"How TIME100 Gala Attendees Reacted to Harvey Weinstein’s Overturned Rape Conviction","description":"The world’s most influential leaders gathered to toast the annual TIME100 list in New York City on Thursday.
