It seems the times are a changin' over at TIME's UP. timesup metoo believesurvivors
After the report a month ago that Robbie Kaplan, TIME’S UP Legal Deference Fund Co-Founder, would be leaving the group, the organization is reeling from continued shifts in leadership. Actors Eva Longoria and Jurnee Smollett, along with producer Shonda Rhimes, will be stepping down from the TIME’S UP board because of the recent scandal surrounding former New York governor Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment case.
Early August, 148 sexual harassment and assault survivors signed an open letter to TIME'S UP published via Medium.com. This letter addressed the board of TIME'S UP and more specifically both Tchen, former CEO of TIME'S UP, and Robbie Kaplan. The letter responded to Tchen asking staff not to publicly support Cuomo’s first accuser Lindsey Boylan, and Kaplan, advising Cuomo on how to discredit another one of his accusers.
ADVERTISEMENT Not only have Tchen and Kaplan resigned, but TIME'S UP is moving towards an entirely new leadership team. Monifa Bandele, a Senior Advisor of MomsRising and longtime advocate in the Black Lives Matter Movement who joined TIME'S UP last October, has been named Interim CEO and will oversee the organization’s leadership changes.
