Times Up

2017 ended with the #MeToo movement of women coming forward with the sexual harassment and abuse they suffered now that their aggressors were no longer safe under the blanket or bigotry. The Times Up initiative has been gaining fuel recently from the support and advocacy of over 300 women in entertainment. The legal defense fund is calling for an end to inequality in the workplaces, from wages to working conditions. Times Up provides subsidized legal support to victims of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse, which has been the dark truth of our society for too many decades. Celebrities walking the red carpet at the 75th Golden Globes have chosen to don the color black to show their support of the initiative. Many actors sported Time's Up pins, which the New York Times called "the political accessory at the Golden Globes". Ordinary citizens in support of the prevalent cause are also taking to social media to share their black outfits with #whywewearblack. In the era of Trump and public figures like Harvey Weinstein and Roy Moore, celebrities are using their influence to bring an end to social injustice. https://www.timesupnow.com/
