HARVEY WEINSTEIN: We've done it. We've done it. Thanks, guys. Thanks.

AMY GOODMAN: And do you think the movement is -- OK.

HARVEY WEINSTEIN: Thanks, guys.

AMY GOODMAN: That was last year, as Harvey Weinstein took Jay Z away from our interview.

Well, this year, one of the protesters at Saturday's Women's March here in Park City, Utah, was longtime women's rights attorney Gloria Allred. Allred is one of the most powerful advocates for survivors of sexual assault, and a survivor herself. She now represents one of the women who have accused President Trump of sexual assault. Her daughter, attorney Lisa Bloom, was an adviser to Weinstein and has apologized for that since. During Gloria Allred's speech on Saturday at the Respect Rally, Allred called for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.

GLORIA ALLRED: We demand the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, that equality of rights shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Resist!

AUDIENCE: Resist!

GLORIA ALLRED: Persist!

AUDIENCE: Persist!

GLORIA ALLRED: Elect!

AUDIENCE: Elect!

GLORIA ALLRED: And don't forget insist. Insist! And let me tell you, Utah, we have 36 states who have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment, most recently Nevada. And now it is time for Utah. Resist!

AUDIENCE: Resist!

GLORIA ALLRED: Insist!

AUDIENCE: Insist!

GLORIA ALLRED: Persist!
