Zerlina Maxwell at IGNITE: How do we end rape culture?

Take five and a half minutes to watch this amazing speech by Zerlina Maxwell.  You might know some of this, and you might not.  And you might be able to share some things with the people in your life and help to end rape culture in our communities.
"I am here to tell you, I can't be out here alone.  Survivors can not be the only ones speaking up and speaking out.  And that's where you come in: allies, okay?  Because rape is not an inevitable occurrence.  It is not something we should trivialize.  And it is not "boys will be boys".  No.  I am here to tell you that rape culture is real and we must end this."
