Today, my new daughter is walking, and because of you, the revolution is rolling. You told the world that time’s up on violence. You told the world that time’s up on silence. You told the world that it’s time for a new day, a time for a new locker room culture, time to think about every person’s desires, needs, wants and pleasures.”

Johansson, 33, also spoke at the Los Angeles rally, where she shared that when the #MeToo movement began, she was forced to think about childhood memories of men who took advantage of her when she didn’t have the tools to say no, as well as sharing that she hopes to movement will allow her future daughter to grow up in a world where she won’t suffer the same fate.

The protests were held on the first anniversary of Trump’s inauguration as president of the U.S. and several of the marchers held signs criticizing the former reality TV star.
