On November 9, 2017, she launched Modern Alliance, a charitable project to fight harassment and later joined the board of iHollaback, an anti-harassment organization. Gordon revealed that she was inspired to do the work because of an experience she alleges she had years earlier with Weiner. She accused Weiner of telling her at the office one night that she owed it to him “to see her naked.” Gordon never formally complained; she said this was for fear of hurting her career. Gordon decided to speak out and take action years later after allegations of sexual misconduct by Harvey Weinstein and other Hollywood sexual assaults came to light.[5][6][7] Marti Noxon, a producer on the show, later gave her support to Gordon’s claims.[8]
In 2020, Noxon and Gordon published a guest column in the Hollywood Reporter suggesting ways the "TV Industry can better protect employees from the next toxic showrunner."[9]
