Canadian actress and director Devery Jacobs says she wanted to participate in Toronto's #MeToo march to stand in solidarity with thousands of survivors of sexual harassment and assault. #MeToo is the social media campaign that exploded online to disclose experience with sexual harassment and assault and exposed the scale of such abuse in everyday life. "I just felt this feeling my gut, something else needs to happen beyond the social media realm." 'Real change needs to ensue'The Mohawk actress, 24, is also involved in spearheading a kindred social media movement dubbed #AfterMeToo.
