The Golden Globes was, probably unsurprisingly, a hot topic on social media last night. Overall the awards show drew 3.3 million tweets, beginning Sunday and carrying through into the early hours of Monday morning. The evening was dominated by women calling for an end to sexual harassment in their acceptance speeches (although no men mentioned Time’s Up or #MeToo in their speeches), so it was only fitting that the biggest trend or hashtag of the night was not about one of the winners or a film or TV show, but instead a movement—Time’s Up.

A powerful group of 300 women in Hollywood (including Eva Longoria and Reese Witherspoon) started the movement as a way to support women all across the country, in all fields, who have experienced harassment, discrimination or abuse.
