Almost 150 women including state lawmakers, political consultants and lobbyists signed a letter calling out a pervasive culture of sexual harassment at the State Capitol. Several of the women have detailed experiences of sexual assault and demanding of sexual favors for advancement in their career. Adama Iwu constructed the letter and Pamela Lopez is one of the signees sharing their stories. They both join Insight to explain why this conversation is so critical now.
