California Democrat and U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier is urging her female and male colleagues to wear black, just as Hollywood's stars did at the 2018 Golden Globes, at President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union speech on Jan. 30 to show support for victims of sexual harassment.

Alyssa Milano, who fueled the #MeToo hashtag, reacted, writing, “Time’s Up.” More Than a Dress Code: How Time's Up Changed the Globes In 2017, Speier shared her own story of sexual harassment and said that a staffer on Capitol Hill “held my face, kissed me, and stuck his tongue in my mouth.” She previously spoke to Time about her efforts to enforce stricter sexual harassment policies. “We say we have zero tolerance for that, but what does zero tolerance mean,” she said. “They’re meaningless words if you’re not willing to say, ‘We’re not going to allow this to go on here.’” Multiple women have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct. He previously called the accusations “100% fabricated and made-up” and later said they were “false allegations and outright lies.”
