00:00Tonight I am proud to stand in solidarity as not just an artist but a
00:05young woman with my fellow sisters in this room who make up the music industry.
00:11Artists, writers, assistants, publicists, CEOs, producers, engineers and women from
00:16all sectors of the business. We are also daughters, wives, mothers, sisters and
00:24human beings. We come in peace but we mean business and to those who would dare try
00:37and silence us we offer you two words, time's up. We say time's up for pay
00:45inequality, time's up for discrimination, time's up for harassment of any kind and
00:51time's up for the abuse of power. Because you see it's not just going on in
00:56Hollywood, it's not just going on in Washington, it's right here in our
01:00industry as well. And just as we have the power to shape culture, we also have the
01:07power to undo the culture that does not serve us well.
01:15So let's, let's work together, women and men as a united music industry committed to
01:24creating more safe work environments, equal pay and access for all women.
