Actress Alyssa Milano, after seeing 1.5 million #metoo tweets this week, called for the nation's women to keep their voices loud and strong about sexual harassment.
"It is a cultural issue that I think we have to face," she said Thursday in a "Good Morning America" appearance.
"And women posting 'me too,' I think, gave them the courage to not have to tell their story or not have to face their predator, but just to stand in solidarity."
In addition to the hundreds of thousands of tweets with the #metoo hashtag, a total of 13.5 million posts, comments and reactions appeared across social media.
"This was really about showing this happens everywhere," Milano declared. "That it's not just Hollywood. That it's not just actresses. It's women on Wall Street. It's women in hospitals. ... It's women walking down the street."
Milano said she planned to coordinate going forward with Tarana Burke, the Bronx-born creator of the "Me Too" movement back in 2006.
"What the 'me too' campaign really does and what Tarana Burke has really enabled us all to do is put the focus back on the victims," said Milano. "To give us a voice, to give us strength, to give us power."
Milano said she hoped the outrage stirred in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse scandal would continue until the world wakes up to what's going on.
"I think that the numbers are a testament as to how powerful women can be when we do stand together, and we are one," she said.
"I really want this to be about every woman's voice. This is your movement, women. This is your time."
