Social change and videos of anime having sexvodka shots with Meryl Streep? That's all in a night for Ai-jen Poo.

Poo is the executive director for the National Domestic Workers Alliance. She also happened to be Meryl Steep's date to the 2018 Golden Globes on Sunday.

Poo was one of the 8 activists Streep and other actresses brought to the Globes in order to raise awareness for Time's Up, the Hollywood-led coalition designed to fight women's abuse in the workplace across all industries.

In an essay for Cosmopolitanentitled "I Was Meryl Streep's 'Plus One' at the Golden Globes," Poo shares her experience of spending the Globes with Meryl in order to spread their message of workplace equality.

Poo begins the letter with how she got the invite and found herself as Meryl's Globes date:

I had not personally met Meryl Streep before I checked my voicemail and heard her soft voice, familiar from so many of my favorite films, introducing herself. There she was, asking to discuss the possibility of attending the Golden Globes together. Yes, Ms. Streep, we can definitely discuss that.

From there, Poo's account takes readers through an extraordinary night, from taking a "shot for courage" with Streep before stepping out to talk to the cameras to the unreal inspiration it is to hear Oprah champion a cause to which you've devoted your career.

And the night might just have resulted in real change —so far, the Time's Up legal defense fund has raised over $16.2 million.

The essay also includes plenty of fun Hollywood tidbits. But Poo also shares her take on why it was so important to visibly unite Hollywood with the women in other industries, like the domestic workers she advocates for, the "2.5 million women in the United States who make it possible for us to us do what we do every day, knowing that our loved ones and homes are in good hands."

On Sunday night, the fight against sexual violence expanded. The focus shifted away from the abusers to the survivors and the solidarity among women across industries, across economic strata, and across communities. The exchange between us helped us understand how we could create not only a moment, but a movement with space and a role for every woman, where every survivor could feel supported.

And finally, Poo shares what she took away from a night of glamor, but more importantly, change.

In the work of organizing we always say that a victory isn't a victory if no one feels it’s theirs. And if you want change, you have to first envision it, and then name it to summon it into existence. We want women — all people — to have dignified and safe workplaces. When women’s workplaces are dignified, we see laws that include protections for everyone — no loopholes, no exclusions. When women’s workplaces are dignified, we see women have safe and accessible ways to report harassment, where they are believed and their abusers are held accountable. When we all have dignified work, women won’t have to choose between paying rent and their own personal safety.

My once-in-a-lifetime experience at the Golden Globes is over, but something new is beginning.
