The Time's Up initiative has grown tremendously since it first kicked off in January to help people stand up for themselves in legal battles against sexual assault and harassment.。
SEE ALSO:All the fiercest signs from the Time's Up rally in London 。In a panel discussion at the MAKERS Conference Monday, women involved with spearheading Time's Up discussed the purpose behind the initiative and its legal defense fund and revealed how much impact the #MeToo movement and Time's Up initiative is having on Hollywood and beyond. Tina Tchen, the lawyer at the helm of Time's Up's legal defense fund, revealed that the initiative raised $20 million in just over a month and has received help from over 200 lawyers.。
Tchen stressed that the fund is not just for women in Hollywood, it's meant for men and women from all walks of life who need legal help when speaking up against injustices in the workplace and beyond. 。
Thanks for signing up!。
"We have had over 1,000 requests for help in a month, so the need is clearly there from all industries -- farmworkers, hotel workers, steelworkers," Tchen said. 。
The panel, moderated by Ava Duvernay, consisted of women representing a wide range of Hollywood and the Time's Up initiative, including agent Maha Dakhil, actresses Rashida Jones and Natalie Portman, director Melina Matsoukas, attorney Nina Shaw, and writer/director/producer/comedian Jill Soloway. 。
"Everybody in the movement acknowledges that there is no change unless you bring every single person along who has spent time being marginalized, harassed, assaulted," Jones said. 。
