Time's Up, the advocacy group working against workplace harassment, demanded the Senate postpone a vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court until sexual misconduct accusations against him are investigated.

Christine Blasey Ford came forward on Sunday and publicly discussed her allegations against Kavanaugh for the first time, days before a scheduled vote on his nomination by the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“If this moment in time feels strangely familiar, it’s because it is,” Time’s Up said in a Monday statement. “Listen to Christine Blasey Ford. A woman’s experience should never be valued less than a man’s career.”

Time’s Up said there was “no path forward” for Kavanaugh’s until Ford’s “credible and serious” allegations are investigated.

“We demand the U.S. Senate postpone any vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination until a thorough and complete examination has been completed,” the organization wrote.

Ford, now a 51-year-old professor in California, detailed an incident between her and Kavanaugh in the 1980s when both of them were high school students.

She alleges that Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed during a party, lay on top of her and “groped her.”

Kavanaugh put his hand over her mouth when she attempted to scream for help, Ford claims.

“I thought he might inadvertently kill me,” Ford said. “He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.”

Kavanaugh denied Ford’s claim on Monday, calling it a “completely false allegation."

Both Ford and Kavanaugh said they are willing to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. All Democrats on the panel have demanded that the Thursday vote be postponed until their testimony is heard.

The Senate should “hear everybody out” when it comes to the allegations, the president added.

“If confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Kavanaugh would have tremendous influence over the lives of working women for generations to come,” Time’s Up wrote in a statement. “A lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land should not be rushed through without a thorough vetting of all critical issues.”

Time’s Up was founded earlier this year as a force against workplace harassment or retaliation as the "Me Too" movement picked up steam.

The group’s website states that it “addresses the systemic inequality and injustice in the workplace that has kept underrepresented groups from reaching their full potential.”

The organization also established the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund to help victims afford the legal and public relations costs of coming forward with sexual misconduct allegations.

The fund has raised more than $22 million on its GoFundMe account.
