MeToo founder will accompany Michelle Williams on the red carpet. Credit
With the #MeToo and #TimesUp movement in full effect on the red carpet, several of Hollywood's most powerful women showed up to the 75th Golden Globes with important activists by their side.
On the red carpet, Michelle Williams commented that she wasn't at the awards show because of her film ("The Greatest Showman") but because of Tarana Burke, her companion for the night.
Susan, who was nominated for Best Actress In A Mini-series or Motion Picture for TV for her role in "Feud" felt "so honoured" to have political commentator and journalist Rosa Clemente as her date for the evening, while Laura - who won Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries, or Motion Picture for TV for "Big Little Lies" - was "very, very excited" to walk the red carpet with Monica Ramirez, head of the National Farmworkers Women's Alliance.
Streep has invited National Domestic Workers Alliance director Ai-jen Poo to accompany her to the ceremony, while Emma Stone will attend with tennis great and equal rights advocate Billie Jean King, the athlete she portrayed in the Battle of the Sexes biopic previous year (17). "We all deserve workplaces where we're safe and our work is valued and we can live and work with dignity - that's the future", Poo said. She added, "We're saying enough is enough".
Amy Poehler will bring Saru Jayaraman, the president of the Restaurant Opportunities Centres United and ROC Action, which fights to improve wages and working conditions for restaurant industry workers.

Asked about Walcott, Pellegrino added: 'He is a good player but I don't know with the negotiations, with the market. In January it is not easy to bring in players but the market is huge and I think we will have some opportunities.
Laura Dern's date was Monica Ramirez, co-founder of Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, "who wrote the lovely letter of solidarity in Time magazine", said Dern of how she connected with Ramirez, representing female farmworkers.
In a statement Sunday, the advocates say they were inspired by the Time's Up initiative, which launched Monday with the backing of hundreds of Hollywood women, like Streep, Reese Witherspoon and Shonda Rhimes.
Emma Stone will bring former pro tennis player and activist Billie Jean King, who she obviously portrayed in Battle of the Sexes.
