Jennifer Garner and Natalie Portman are standing in solidarity with female soccer players!

The two actresses joined Uzo Aduba, Jessica Chastain and Eva Longoria to support the Time’s Up Pay Up movement at the U.S. Women’s National Team Players Event on Sunday (April 7) at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.

The group showed their support for women soccer player’s fight for equal pay, as they are not paid the same as their male counterparts, despite constantly outperforming them.

The U.S. women’s soccer team are consistently ranked number one in the world and outperform the men’s team when it comes to victories, domestic viewership and name recognition.

Despite making millions of dollars for the U.S. Soccer Federation, they are still paid less.

“So the US women’s team is the best in the world and the men’s team gets paid more? #TimesUpPayUp,” Jessica wrote on her Instagram stories.
