NEW YORK (AP) — Five years after it made a splashy public debut, the #MeToo-era organization Time’s Up is ceasing operations — at least in its current form. A year after pledging a “major reset” following a damaging internal report sparked by the scandal involving its leaders’ dealings with then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the group’s board chair told The Associated Press that Time’s Up will shift all remaining funds to the independently administered Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund and halt other operations. The remaining board members plan to step down. Operated by the National Women’s Law Center in Washington, the defense fund has offered legal assistance to thousands of workers.
