Anita Hill wants you to report misconduct in Hollywood and has launched a service to help

A new online service, MyConnect, will provide entertainment professionals with information on how to report harassment and misconduct in the workplace. The service comes through the Hollywood Commission, an organization whose mission is to combat abuse and inequality of power in the film world, headed by Anita Hill.

“MyConnext is a powerful, new, secure, all-in-one online tool, resource center and referral system for entertainment industry workers exploring their options when faced with harassment, bullying or any abuse in the workplace,” a message to Hollywood Commission website says. “Employees will have access to a 'hold to fight' tool, as well as the impartial guidance of a mediator who can help them choose their own paths.” Users can submit complaints anonymously if they wish.

Participating organizations with MyConnext include the DGA, WGA, SAG-AFTRA and the Kennedy/Marshall Company, according to TheWrap. Everyone who works for Netflix productions in the US will have access to the service, as will employees associated with some Amazon productions.

“Employees need to feel they will be heard and feel safe to raise concerns about inappropriate behavior in the workplace,” Hill said in a statement via TheWrap. “[MyConnext] empowers workers who have experienced or witnessed harassment, discrimination, intimidation or abuse by providing them with the resources they need and listing options for those who choose to come forward. And it does so in an environment that preserves and protects the rights of all parties with the dignity and sensitivity you would expect from a truly objective, fact-based user experience.”

Hill, a lawyer, rose to prominence in the early 1990s when she accused then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. After a widely televised hearing in which Hill recounted her allegations and a debate on Capitol Hill, the Senate confirmed Thomas as a judge by a narrow 52-48 margin.

Last month, he wrote an article about The Hollywood Reporter in support of survivors of Harvey Weinstein's abuse after his guilty conviction was overturned in New York. “The case forces us to recognize that societal misconceptions about sexual violence continue to abound, lending support to the myth that women cannot be trusted to be honest about sexual assault,” he wrote. “These same fallacies find their way into our judicial system, corrupting jurors' understandings of the legal concepts of consent, relevance and credibility, and what it means to have a reasonable doubt.” Still, he wrote, “our movement will persevere.”
