As for Brockovich, she spoke out to fans and told them to fight for Rebel to be picked up for a second season elsewhere.
There’s an irony to a show by & for strong women who don’t quit, being canceled#Rebelabc isn’t going anywhere! She lives on in every one of the thousands who reached out this weekend & who continue to fight in their communities
You’ll never cancel this movement, or our voices!
