"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. 。
