The Weinstein trial has begun in NYC and he has now been charged with multiple rapes and other sex crimes. Thank heavens for the strong women who took and stance and said no more!
It’s such a difficult and important thing to stand trial to help justice finds its way in this case and others. Not always do we see justice prevail so let’s hope the women (over 100) who stood up to be counted helps this case and the evidence results in truth and justice.
One group supporting these women and equality for all women is Times Up. Support these silence breakers on THIS PAGE.
