The open letter opens with "Dear sisters" and closes 'in solidarity'. Rhimes told the New York Times.
"As a first step towards helping women and men across the country seek justice, the signatories of this letter will be seeding a legal fund to help survivors of sexual assault and harassment across all industries challenge those responsible for the harm against them and give voice to their experiences".
