Following in the footsteps of the 2018 Golden Globes, during which stars wore all black to protest sexual harassment and gender inequality in the work
Following in the footsteps of the 2018 Golden Globes, during which stars wore all black to protest sexual harassment and gender inequality in the work place, in the #Time’sUp movement, stars who are set to attend the 2018 Grammy Awards are being encouraged to wear white roses to continue spreading the message.
A group dubbed the Voices in Entertainment joined together to pen a letter to their “brothers and sisters in music,” writing,
“As we are inspired by the #Time’sUp campaign, we are encouraging the artists that we work with and our colleagues attending the 60th Annual Grammy Awards in New York City to wear a white rose to the ceremony on Sunday, January 28th. We choose the white rose because historically it stands for hope, peace, sympathy and resistance.”
The letter, which was led by Meg Harkins of Roc Nation and Karen Rait of Rhymthmic Promotion, Interscope/Geffen/A&M Records, continued, “Please join us in support of equal representation in the workplace, for leadership that reflects the diversity of our society, workplaces free of sexual harassment and a heightened awareness of accountability that our sisters started on January 1st and continued through the Golden Globes and onward.”
