You Could Have The Chance To Hang Out With Reese Witherspoon While Supporting Time's Up
Some of Hollywood's biggest stars are looking to celebrate the first anniversary of the Time's Up movement by getting everyone else involved. Stars like Brie Larson, Reese Witherspoon, and Ed Sheeran honoring the one-year anniversary of the Time's Up Movement with a celebrity auction, and all of the proceeds are going to the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund. In other words: You could have a chance to hang out with your favorite stars while also supporting a great cause.
The Time's Up campaign — which officially kicked off at the 2017 Golden Globes — is led by some of the most famous women in Hollywood as a way to help women and men fight back against harassment, sexism and inequality in all industries. Now, one year after the campaign first made headlines, many of the movement's most high-profile faces are teaming up with eBay to offer up exclusive experiences and big-ticket items to fans in order to raise money for the Legal Defense Fund, which helps connect men and women to legal resources in order to get justice and fight back against the systemic inequality that they often face.
"We are excited to partner with eBay to offer one-of-a-kind experiences and products from our supporters across the entertainment industry and around the world to the public," said Fatima Goss Graves, co-founder of the TIME’S UP Legal Defense Fund and President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, in a press release obtained by Bustle. “Each contribution will especially help low-wage workers connect to the legal resources they need to fight against sexual harassment. This scourge continues to thrive across all industries—and it’s time to tackle it. We are dedicated to creating a reality where no worker must endure abuse for a paycheck."
And the Time's Up initiative is offering some truly exceptional prizes for people who are interested in contributing to the fundraiser. Did Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" video reignite your love for Reese Witherspoon and her incredible filmography? Well, you can now gush about your love of the Oscar winner to her face if you win a visit to the premiere of Big Little Lies Season 2.
Or maybe you're still obsessed with Olivia Pope, even though Scandal recently came to an end. Not to worry — Kerry Washington is offering up tickets to her new Broadway show, American Son, and the chance to meet your favorite Fixer in person.
Plus, there's the chance to take your Instagram game to an entirely new level with a portrait session with famed photographer Mark Seliger. Unleash your inner supermodel!
But the Time's Up Anniversary auction isn't just about meet and greets and premiere tickets: there's also everything from a Zac Posen original outfit to a signed Stranger Things poster up for grabs. And that's just the very tip of the iceberg. Here are five items up for auction fans will definitely want to bid on.
