The Creative Coalition is on a Mission to End the Sexual Harassment Problem
The Creative Coalition is on a mission to bring social justice and advocate for the arts. The group has launched a special PSA to combat sexual harassment. Actor Tim Daly serves as President of The Creative Coalition and Robin Bronk is CEO. The pair joins Cheddar to explain their initiatives and this new campaign.
Tim Daly said The Creative Coalition came to him at the right time. He was looking to give back and hopefully make an impact and a group that focused on arts advocacy was both exciting and necessary.
Now, their mission is to bring more education, conversations, and understanding around sexual harassment. #keeptellingpeople is a movement to keep the conversation alive. Bronk says what has happened is not enough. There needs to be progressive change and systems put in place to combat this issue.
The Creative Coalition wants people to keep the conversation around sexual harassment going and make sure those who experience sexual harassment #keeptellingpeople.
