Women Leaders Launch TIME'S UP Campaign to Eradicate Abuse of Power, Shift Leadership Imbalances, and Promote Equality

TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund Launches

LOS ANGELES, CA/January 1, 2018 (STL.News) – TIME’S UP (TU), an unprecedented movement started by women in the entertainment industry, today announced the launch of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund. The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund is one of a series of TU’s ongoing commitments to combat the systemic power imbalances that have prohibited many women, especially women of color, from being safe and reaching their full potential in the workplace.

TU is a central hub supporting a wide range of initiatives aimed at promoting equality and safety in the workplace. In addition to the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, TU initiatives cover legislation, corporate policy, hiring practices and aggregating important resources. TU is comprised of many working groups that focus on tackling these issues from various angles.

“Earning a living should not come at the cost of anyone’s safety, dignity or morale,” said Shonda Rhimes. “Every person should get to work in an environment free from abuse, assault and discrimination. It’s well past time to change the culture of the environment where most of us spend the majority of our day — the work place. 51% of our population is female, over 30% of our population is of color. Those are important, vital, economically powerfully voices that need to be heard at every level. TIME’S UP is working to make sure the people walking the corridors of power within the workplace and in politics truly reflect the full mix of America – the real America that looks like and includes all of us. Look, this isn’t going to be easy but it is right. And fighting for what is right can seem hard. But letting what is wrong become normal is not easier — it is just more shameful.”

The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, spearheaded by Tina Tchen and Roberta Kaplan and top PR professionals, will help individuals who experience sexual misconduct including assault, abuse or harassment find legal representation. The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund will be housed at and administered by the National Women’s Law Center and participating attorneys will work with the Center’s Legal Network for Gender Equity to enable more individuals to come forward and secure legal assistance.

Prior to its formal launch, TIME’S UP has already raised more than thirteen million dollars from over 200 donors for The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund, to help to defray costs for lawyers and communications professionals from across the country to provide assistance to those who experience sexual harassment. Founding donors include Katie McGrath & J.J. Abrams, Jennifer Aniston, Shonda Rhimes, Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Capshaw and Steven Spielberg’s Wunderkinder Foundation, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), ICM Partners (ICM), Paradigm Talent Agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), and William Morris Endeavor (WME). The TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund will enable individuals to come forward without fear of legal, career or financial retaliation and work toward a culture free from sexual harassment.

“The magnitude of the past few months highlights the fact that sexual harassment against women in the workplace is endemic and touches every industry,” said Tina Tchen, attorney and co-founder of TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund. “We are a community of women and men who can no longer stand idly by. This is the first of many concrete actions we will take. And we are thrilled to partner with Fatima Goss Graves and the National Women’s Law Center to assure the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund’s success.”

The launch of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund is the second action this month from the TIME’S UP community. In mid-December, entertainment industry executives, independent experts and advisors came together to create the Commission on Sexual Harassment and Advancing Equality in the Workplace. Chaired by Anita Hill, the Commission will lead the entertainment industry toward alignment in achieving safer, fairer, more equitable and accountable workplaces—particularly for women and marginalized people.

“Receiving unanimous support from the entertainment industry’s leaders to form and fund the Commission is an important first step in tackling the broad culture of abuse and power disparity. We all know that safe and inclusive work environments result in stronger and more successful businesses,” said Kathleen Kennedy. “Our goal is to define a work environment where the basic principles of respect, human decency, and equality define the workplace everywhere.”

In addition to the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund and the Commission, TIME’S UP is also working closely with 5050by2020, believing a shift in power and leadership is imperative to make change. The group is advocating for a 50/50 model where women are equally represented at every level—especially in leadership positions and positions of power. 5050by2020 has already received commitments for gender parity by 2020 from leaders in the industry including Creative Artist Agency (CAA) and ICM Partners (ICM).

TIME’S UP has received the support and backing of numerous attorneys, activists, public relations professionals, companies, and celebrities, who all stand ready to help.

To view a full list of founding donors, please visit https://www.gofundme.com/timesup.  Currently, there has been more than $13.6 million raised out of their $15 million goal.

ABOUT TIME’S UP

TIME’S UP is a campaign driven by women to address the systemic power imbalances that have kept underrepresented groups from reaching their full potential. We partner with like-minded organizations to fight for workplaces that are committed to equality and safety, and strive to reach the most dynamic business and creative outcomes possible. We are committed to acting strategically, and delivering real impact that changes industries, and ultimately, the world.

All participating legal counsels and public relations professionals that form TIME’S UP Legal Defense will agree to handle cases at a reduced rate or pro bono. Time’s Up is also seeking additional lawyers who can serve as counsel for clients that meet the criteria for assistance by the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund.

I did these saturday evening post spoofs for patreon last month!

I’m still just completely in love with Fatima 😍

[roast-ifs]

could you describe what the teammates look like?

Full versions up on patreon btw ;P

[roast-ifs]

🥁 Drum roll please for Fatima!

Face claim I found for her is Lizzy Yusuf (link!) though I’ve altered the facial structure a bit to fit my image better. Her nose is mostly just what I found to be perfect.

Housekeeping under the cut

SO I was going to wait and do like---all the cast members and full turn arounds but I know myself and know that would just NEVER get done.

So I’m just going to post up portraits of the cast (how I see them) for y’all’s reference just when I get them done and then put up an ensemble once they’re all done.

BUT AS I SAID IN THIS POST I want y’all to have fun with these characters and design them as you see them too (if you want to, totally okay to use my designs).

Just do not change their skin tones and watch out for when you do your lighting bc you’ve got to handle it differently for different skin tones (this is where a lot of artists get accused of whitewashing when they handle lighting the same for every skin tone)

To make things easy bc I know saving an image off the web will change the colors a little bit.

Fatima’s (base) skin tone hex code: #be7c55

An Interactive Horror Novel

Welcome to Smoke & Velvet, a cosmic horror story involving magic, monsters, and something much more inexplicable.

You play as a monster paying off your parole by solving cases brought to you and your team, whether they be horrifying hauntings, or things much more visceral.

The Story

It's 1913, only months since you woke up from a coma that’s left you sick and a year of your memories missing. You’re working off your crimes by solving whatever cases are brought to you, whether or not you’re still in recovery.

Your latest case comes on a string of failures, set in a sleepy coastal town where five people have gone missing and mysterious phenomena plague the streets. The darkness there seems to take a liking to you, twisting your mind and making it hard to see between what’s real and what’s not.

Why has the thing in the dark targeted you? Do you deserve its taunting? And can you solve the case before it digs its teeth in and tears you apart?

Try your best to survive, re-discover your memories, and make your ultimate choice.

Customization

Play as one of three monstrous species with different backstories and abilities.

The Basilisk, a four-armed split-jawed humanoid with fangs, venom, and a petrifying gaze.

The Hellhound, a canine-headed fire-spitter, with claws and teeth to boot.

The Living Porcelain, a ghostly soul ensconced in clay, able to feast on magic and even another creature’s soul.

See your character react and change with the personality you give them, using an 8 trait personality system that customizes the game to the choices you make.

Failure

Choices are not kill or be killed (not now, anyway), failure is an option and the game is designed to encourage choices based on character development, not success.

Both failure and success open up wildly different avenues of roleplay--if your character isn’t thinking straight, by all means, pick something they don’t typically go for, and see what kind of darkness it brings.

The Cast

Nico María (gender selectable): Your handler and medic, the one who you directly report to and who shares your forgotten memories but refuses to tell them to you. They have their secrets, and they seem to be eating them up inside.

Fatima Kaplan (amab trans woman): Your secondary handler and combat specialist. She’s theatric, dramatic, and straight forward. She was once one of the agency’s best agents, but not since being partnered with you.

Maeng Isla (gender selectable): Isla is a unicorn and Fatima’s responsibility. They’re flirty if aloof and they’ve kept you at arms length since you first met them after recovery from your coma. They won’t let you get close, and you don’t understand why.

Dana/Danny (gender selectable, afab): Dana is your crew’s attendant and a winged harpy. They’re a bashfully shy steward seeing to your needs as you travel, and then some! They’re earnest, honest, and have about as many clues as you do about what’s going on.

The Nitty Gritty

Welcome to 2021!

The update day is now the 15th of the month.

The game is updated once every two months publicly until closed access alpha and beta begins. (TBD)

Patreon members have access to the updates every month. Want access to the game after closed alpha begins? $2 gets you access to art, polls, and drabble requests!

Warning: This game will go over many stressing elements. Please review the content warnings before reading. There is a trigger toggle available to warn in-game when certain scenes may be coming up, and some scenes can be skipped for a more watered down version.

Stay safe! Stay healthy! Take care of yourself and maybe treat yourself to some reading ;)

Play the game!
