The watch Lady Chatterley's Daughter (2011)women of Hollywood are fighting back – and not just for themselves.
Over 300 women in the entertainment industry (film, TV, and theater) have come together to form Time's Up, a wide-ranging initiative that aims to battle systemic sexual harassment not just in Hollywood, but in blue-collar and service industry jobs as well.
SEE ALSO: Time Person of the Year poll honors the women who broke the silence with #MeTooThe group, which includes Ashley Judd, Eva Longoria, America Ferrera, Natalie Portman, Emma Stone, Kerry Washington, Shonda Rhimes, Reese Witherspoon, and Jill Soloway, has issued a statement announcing their intentions:

In the letter, Time's Up stresses that they stand in solidarity with victims in other industries, and references a letter of support sent to the women of Hollywood by Alianza Nacional de Campesinas (the National Farmworker Women's Alliance).
"We particularly want to lift up the voices, power, and strength of women working in low-wage industries where the lack of financial stability makes them vulnerable to high rates of gender-based violence and exploitation," they write.
To that end, Time's Up includes a legal defense fund to help protect people, particularly low-wage workers from sexual misconduct in the workplace. As of writing, the group has raised over $13 million in donations. (You can add to that number on the GoFundMe page.)
The group's other efforts include a push for gender parity in studio and talent agency leadership, and the pursuit of stronger anti-harassment legislation that will address nondisclosure agreements.
They're also behind the plan for female stars to wear black to the Golden Globes in an effort to raise awareness of the industry's sexual misconduct problem.
"For years, we’ve sold these awards shows as women, with our gowns and colors and our beautiful faces and our glamour," Longoria told the Times. "This time the industry can’t expect us to go up and twirl around. That’s not what this moment is about."
Although Time's Up is only officially announcing itself now, it was first formed months ago – not long after those first horrifying exposés of Harvey Weinstein first hit the papers.
That first report sparked a firestorm that spread first through Hollywood, engulfing more and more men in power, and then through other industries, thanks to movements like #MeToo.
It quickly became apparent that sexual harassment wasn't just a Hollywood problem – and, what's more, that victims without A-list celebrity clout had even less recourse for dealing with the issue.
As cathartic as the outpouring of stories were, as moving as honors like Time's Person of the Year were, as powerful as the symbolic protest of an all-black red carpet could be, they all felt like just the beginning.
Time's Up is the necessary next step for correcting that imbalance. If 2017 was the year we learned just how bad the problem was, 2018 could be the year we start to make it right.
