www.usatoday.com: Natalie Portman took a flamethrower to the patriarchy. George Clooney admonished what he called the Trump administration's culture of fear. Emma Gonzalez implored people to vote. And host Jenifer Lewis spared no one, from Melania Trump and Kanye West to Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh.

Hollywood stars are so famous that they become extremely influential in our society. I appreciate when this fame is used in a beneficial manner, such as Natalie Portman has done by speaking up in the Women’s Luncheon. As a member of the entertainment community, she spoke about the Time’s Up and Me Too movement because they are extremely relevant, especially for that specific audience. I was so happy to read that Emma Gonzalez, a student leader in the gun control movement, was also featured as a speaker. Because she survived the Marjory Stoneman Douglas school shooting, she has the perspective of what it is like to be a youth in America today. She may not be an adult with an established career, but she is an individual with a dream. Her opinion is just as valid as the other lofty speakers at this luncheon because she (hopefully) represents the future of our nation.
