Tonight, our eyes are on the 2018 Golden Globes: a celebration of the finest moments (and participants) in American film and television. Many stars, including Tracee Ellis Ross and #MeToo movement creator Tarana Burke, are wearing all black to honor victims of sexual abuse in Hollywood.
One of the celebrities who’s using style to raise awareness tonight is Connie Britton. She’s rocking a black sweatshirt, which has “Poverty is sexist” embroidered in cursive across the chest.

Britton also said, “To me, my hope is that we start looking outside of Hollywood and really make this a movement that will impact all women in the United States and all women in the world.”

Ultimately, it is of major importance that Connie Britton understands the intersection of poverty, abuse, and gender.
