From Rehtaeh Parson's suicide, to the Steubenville rape case to the attacks on New Leaders Council's own Zerlina Maxwell, the culture around rape in the U.S. in alarming, but perhaps most alarming for our women in uniform. One out of every 5 active duty female soldiers are sexually assaulted or raped, and many suspect that figure to be under reported. And nearly 20,000 men are victimized every year.
Join NLC-SF, Good Ol Girs, Rally.org as we host a screening of The Invisible War, the Oscar nominated documentary about sexual assault in the U.S. military. The film is available courtesy of Spark, which helped secure funding for the film. After the film we'll have a short Q&A and discussion on what is happening in Congress, and what the rest of us can do to support our folks in uniform.
