Bono to Trump: Make Women's Equality a Priority

U2 lead singer Bono urged President-elect Donald Trump to make women's equality a priority in his new administration.

While accepting Glamour magazine's Man of the Year award Monday night, the Irish rocker told Americans upset with Trump's election, "There is a time to be heartbroken, and a time to break everything apart. There is a time to grieve, and a time to get organized," Vulture.com reported. "And in the words of Flo Kennedy, and most recently Lena Dunham, don't agonize, organize."

"I asked my wife, Ali, tonight what I should say on receiving this award, and she said what she told me all those years ago: 'Don't look down at me, but don't look up at me either. Look across to me, I am here,'" he said. "So that's what I'm doing. And that's what we're doing. We're going to look across at each other."

Bono continued: "And in these times, maybe the most important thing is to look across at the person who agrees with you on nothing, maybe they're in your family, maybe they live across the street, maybe they're about to move into the White House. So I say to the president-elect, look across to women, make equality a priority; it is the only way forward. The train is leaving the station, be on it, or be under it."
