The Academy's Board of Governors is debating, and will decide on October 14, whether or not to revoke Harvey Weinstein's membership. The Academy can extend invitations to individuals to become a member of the Academy, but they can also revoke memberships -- which is widely unprecedented. The Academy revoking Weinstein's membership would send a strong signal that sexual abuse and predatory behavior will not be tolerated.
Why is this important?
The Academy should revoke Harvey Weinstein's membership and send a strong message that sexual predatory behavior will not be tolerated. Survivors of sexual violence and harassment deserve better.
