Generated interpretation, not documentary evidence. AI-generated empty chairs and a quiet table, a respectful metaphor for listening and solidarity rather than a real survivor-support session.

Supplemental context
The movement's own history places Tarana Burke's founding work in 2006, well before the hashtag's 2017 surge. Its account emphasizes support, resources and community among survivors of sexual violence, alongside efforts to change the conditions that enable it. For future readers, that chronology guards against reducing a movement to the moment it became highly visible online. The hashtag was a means of connection, but the underlying work included relationships and organizing that were not necessarily public. Preserving this history responsibly means valuing survivor agency rather than treating disclosure as material that an archive is entitled to collect.
Creator/community: Tarana Burke, survivor communities and me too. organizers Place/era: United States grassroots work from 2006; global hashtag visibility in 2017
Context and limits
This is the organization's account of its history and purpose, not a comprehensive account of every national movement or individual allegation. No person should be identified as a survivor without consent. The empty-chair illustration depicts neither an actual support session nor a promised therapy outcome, and no private testimony is reproduced.
