Wear black and walk out.

That's what the Time's Up movement against systemic sexual harassment and abuse has called for on Monday, following multiple accusations aimed at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

On Sunday night, the activist group posted the rallying cry on Twitter, calling on people to join forces with women's groups across the U.S. to simply "walk out (of your home, workplace, classroom, wherever you are)."

Set for Monday, Sept. 24 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, the walkout is pitched as a moment of solidarity with Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at California's Palo Alto University, who recently accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault.

The post came shortly after The New Yorker's Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer published a new allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh on Sunday, this time from Deborah Ramirez, who attended Yale with him.

"Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez have bravely come forward and shared their stories about sexual misconduct and assault at the hands of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh," reads the walkout Facebook event.

"Women must be heard," reads Time's Up's Twitter post, linking to the event hosted by fellow activist groups Women's March, MoveOn and others.

Can't walk out? You can show support by posting a video or a picture to the Facebook event page or social media with the hashtag #BelieveSurvivors.

Kavanaugh has denied both accusations, as has The White House, which continues to support his Supreme Court nomination.

While Ford has apparently gone into hiding after alleged threats and harassment, she has seen significant public support after she made the difficult decision to publicly share her story.

Time's Up had issued an earlier statement on her accusation against Kavanaugh, which concluded: "Listen to Christine Blasey Ford. A woman’s experience should never be valued less than a man’s career."

Hollywood stars and women from around the U.S., some being key members of the #MeToo and Time's Up movements, have also shown their support for Ford.

The likes of Julianne Moore, America Ferrera, Gabrielle Union, Amber Tamblyn, Eva Longoria, Jamia Wilson, and Marisa Tomei, along with many other women from different situations, all read the same supportive letter to Ford, in a video posted to Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #DearProfessorFord.

Tamblyn has also tweeted support for Ramirez, saying, "We stand with you and every survivor like you."

Ford will testify against Kavanaugh in an open hearing on Thursday, CNN reports.

As for Ramirez, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has requested Kavanaugh's confirmation proceedings be postponed, and Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley asked that the new allegation be investigated by the FBI.

Time's Up also called for a suspension of the confirmation process.
