Purpose

The purpose of the Time's Up organization is to advocate and campaign to adress discrimination and harassment in workplaces.[1] Additionally, the organization carries out fundraising for the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund to provide monetary support for victims of workplace sexual dscrimination so that they can take legal action,[2] especially for individuals within lower-wage occupations and people of color.[3][4]

The Time's Up movement is framed as being aligned with the #MeToo movement but focused on taking action to address issues of inequality and harassment in the workplace specifically.[4][1] It focuses on advocating for policies and legislation that would improve equality in the workplace, in terms of compensation, available opportunities, and treatment by employers and colleagues. As part of those goals, it also aims to support individuals who wish to seek legal justice for sexual discrimination in the workplace.[4]

Organization

The organization is separated into two main entities: Time's Up Foundation and Time's Up Now. Time's Up Foundation is a

501(c)4, a non-profit that can be involved in political activity. Any donations to this entity are not tax deductible.[5] This is the advocacy arm of the organization.[6] Tina Tchen is the President and CEO of both Time's Up Now and Time's Up Foundation.[6][7] The organization has a volunteer board whose members include Nina Shaw,[8] Roberta Kaplan, Eva Longoria, Katie McGrath, Shonda Rhimes, and Jurnee Smollett.[2]

The Time's Up Legal Defense Fund is operated separately by the National Women's Law Center (NWLC), and was established as a partnership between Time's Up leaders and the NWLC.[5] The fund is entirely supported by donations, which are mainly made directly to the NWLC. The Time's Up organization also gives money to the fund under a memorandum of understanding, contributing $312,000 in 2018 and $3.2 million in 2019.[2]

Time's Up has also formed and oversees several industry-specific groups: Time's Up Entertainment,

BIPOC, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ individuals.[5][10] The organization's technology branch, Time's Up Tech, is dedicated to the high tech industry primarily based in Silicon Valley.[11] Time's Up Advertising was launched by female executives within the advertising industry, and concentrates on raising awareness and challenging issues of inequality and sexual harassment.[12] The Time's Up Healthcare branch focuses on supporting workers in the medical field, including through partnerships with organizations such as health care societies and associations.[13] Among its goals, the industry group aims to address wage inequality and improve workplace safety for healthcare workers.[14][15]
