Alinejad is an award-winning Iranian journalist, broadcaster, blogger and founder of the My Stealthy Freedom movement, which encourages Iranian women to express their personal freedom. Alinejad has been forced to live in exile in Brooklyn, New York following her criticism of the Iranian regime. She currently reports and presents a weekly TV segment on VOA, called Tablet, where she mixes hard news and satire.

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), a member of the Senate Judiciary, Rules and Commerce Committees, will make welcome remarks.

They join a full program on women’s leadership, including “#TimesUp: How a Hollywood Moment is Becoming a National Movement,” with Amber Tamblyn, author and actress, Hilary Rosen, political commentator, CNN & Partner and Managing Director, SKDNickerbocker and Sharyn Tejani, Director of the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, moderated by Washington Post reporter Sarah Ellison.
