Time’s Up.
Hollywood women used the recent Golden Globe Awards as a stage to bring activists dedicated to gender equality to the limelight and promote the “Time’s Up” movement. A leader of Alianza Nacional de Campesinas was the guest of award-winning actress Laura Dern. Two leaders of farmworking women join this program to comment on their years-long efforts to end violence and exploitation against women farmworkers and low-paid immigrant women. They also comment on the legal fund created by the Time’s Up campaign, Oprah Winfrey speech at the Golden Globes, and the upcoming Women’s March.
