March 2022. Eliza Dushku was an invited guest to the White House for the President signing the "Ending Forced Arbitration for Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault Bill" into Law.
In November 2021, Eliza and other women testified before the Judiciary Committee of Congress in support of the bill. Eliza spoke about the sexual harassment she faced at CBS on the set of Bull.
Eliza also spoke against the practice of forced arbitration. (A forced arbitration clause in her contract meant she could not take her case against CBS to court.) The day after Eliza and the other women testified, the Committee voted in favor of the bill.
Excerpts below from her March 2022 Instagram post:
This new law will protect women & men from being bound by oppressive, unfair, secretive clauses in their employment contracts, clauses that protect abusers/harassers before they commit their shi**y acts. This has been the standard practice in the entertainment industry & MANY others for too long. This new law is being described as one of the most important labor/employment laws of the last 100 years.
For me, this was closure & a new beginning. Unexpected, surreal, humbling, validating, one of the most meaningful roles in my life/story.
You never know what the universe might present. When pain becomes a propellor to help others, when there was an opening to play a small part in something so much bigger than me, I’m feeling a modicum of real satisfaction & some true peace...
There’s more to be done... next up must be broader “forced arbitration” repeals to protect the rights of American workers in the context of wage theft, racial discrimination, & unfair labor practices. This is not partisan... it’s about right versus wrong. It’s good for all workers & for employers too.
Thanks, from the bottom of my ♥️ to my family, peeps, & fans for your enduring support.
Keep the faith 🙏
