With musical performances and speeches to fill the day, attendees listened to one speaker after another demand change, and call on the nation’s next president to make women’s issues a priority.
Among the speakers were Oscar winners Mira Sorvino and Marlee Matlin, Emmy winner Tatiana Maslany, and fellow actresses Rosanna Arquette, Yvette Nicole Brown, Michelle Rodriguez, Raven-Symoné, and Joely Fisher.

Kellys are finally realizing that we as a society have stopped tolerating their predation, no matter their popularity.
