The White House and Hollywood have teamed up to create a video as part of the 'It's On Us campaign' to change how we think about sexual assault.
The 'It's on Us' video features celebrities like Jon Hamm, Kerry Washington and even President Obama, in the hopes of garnering national attention. The video then provides viewers with a link to where they can take the pledge to "help keep women and men safe from sexual assault." The site also provides tools on how to be part of the solution as a well as a link to where people can get the 'It's On Us' t-shirt.
Not just a video, the It’s On Us campaign is hoping to a create movement where people no longer remain silent and passive, but rather "stand up, step in, and stop sexual assault."
