Time's Up/Advertising opens event after blowback
Posted in: Uncategorized
Time’s Up/Advertising, the group founded by high-level industry executives to take tangible action against discrimination, found itself accused of just that as some industry women signing up for the group’s first big events today were turned down. The group has since opened up today’s community meetings, planned concurrently in 14 cities around the country, to include freelancers and others who are not current agency employees.
Time’s Up/Advertising, an initiative launched this year to address sexual harassment and systemic inequality in the workplace in partnership with Time’s Up found itself on the receving end of complaints in recent days on social media by women who claimed their RSVP’s were declined.
No one person or group gets to own or control the narrative of a movement. It’s bigger than a self-appointed elite group of CEOs from @TIMESUPAD Shame on you for excluding freelancers & anyone in limbo due to #metoo retaliation. #timesup @dietmadisonave @TaranaBurke @TIMESUPNOW pic.twitter.com/Is4SYdWmpm
