it's on us
President Joe Biden is signing an executive order directing the Department of Education to review the Trump administration’s controversial Title IX policy guidelines for handling sexual assault on K-12 and college campuses.
Spearheaded by Obama and Biden, the It’s On Us campaign is now in its third year, having been supported by such notable figures as Lady Gaga, Connie Britton, Adam Devine, Jon Hamm, Kerry Washington, Nina Dobrev, and Viola Davis. The first two years of the IT’S ON US campaign were extremely successful in generating awareness around sexual assault on college campuses - with 324,000 online pledges and 1,300 student run events across 360 college campuses. However, there’s still work to do to end sexual assault on college campuses. As such, the third year of the IT’S ON US campaign has been focused on action - encouraging students to go beyond taking the IT’S ON US pledge by stepping up and intervening, because WE CAN.
"While the justice system has spoken in your particular case, the nation is not satisfied."

WHAT'S HAPPENING
"Don't go to work. Maybe don't leave the house."
Students are making covers to spread awareness about sexual assault, and they are hauntingly good.
For good reason.
Hundreds of colleges are using a sexual assault prevention program that doesn't even require people to use the word "rape."
The It's On Us campaign has launched a new contest to raise awareness about sexual assault.
Would you care more about college sexual assaults if they were bear attacks?
