Terry Crews
Ambassador
"My message to all men is that you have to kill pride. You’ve been taught that pride is a manly thing, that pride is a good thing. But the problem with pride is that it stops you from growth. When you’re so proud that you won’t change, you’ve got problems. Male pride causes wars; millions of people have died because of male pride, because one man would not back down. Male pride will say, 'I’d rather blow up my whole family than have everyone look at me as though I’ve lost.' That is so dangerous."

Brittany Perrineau
Ambassador, Actress, Activist
"Sexual assault is a serious and often life changing event. Women and men often take years to report or don't report at all for fear of not being believed. Online reporting and matching victims with others that have the same perpetrators is crucial as many times there is safety in numbers. Please join us as we seek accountability from our peers, law enforcement, and our judicial system to end these abuses in the workplace."
