"The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them." — Ida B. Wells, Born into slavery in Mississippi in 1862 - Died in Chicago, 1931. A hero in the fight for equality. An early beacon of the American Civil Rights movement. A timeless inspiration to all who stand up and speak out for dignity and respect.

The term, MeToo, used on this site and widely elsewhere, was coined by Tarana Burke, an American social activist, in 2006. The ZeroNow Campaign™ is grateful for her pioneering vision that formed the basis for the current movement popularized by the Twitter handle #MeToo, created by Alyssa Milano, the American actor. The ZeroNow Campaign™ strongly believes that those whose courage and foresight helps to pave the way for economic progress, dignity and human rights for the rest of us deserve to be recognized and appreciated. We salute them all.
