How Gretchen Carlson is carrying on the #MeToo fight

Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson's advocacy group is launching a new corporate scorecard to shine a light on the secretive practices companies use to silence workers about sexual harassment and discrimination.

Why it matters: The idea behind the Lift Our Voices scoring system is to track employers' use of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) and forced arbitration (secret courts outside the public system) — similar to how other surveys examine benefits like health insurance or paid leave.

Catch up quick: Carlson, a former Fox News host, cofounded the nonprofit with Julie Roginsky, also formerly with the network. Neither can talk about their experiences at Fox because of NDAs.

"I may never own my own truth. And you know, it's crazy, because people think I do. They'll say to me, 'Hey, I loved your movie,' 'I loved your mini series,' and I'm like, they were not mine," Carlson tells Axios.
