THE WHITE HOUSE: Remarks by the Vice President at the Academy Awards
Quote: " Good evening. Good evening, and thank you very much. Despite significant progress over the last few years, too many women and men -- on and off college campuses -- are still victims of sexual abuse. And tonight I’m asking you to join millions of Americans, including me, President Obama, the thousands of students I’ve met on college campuses, and the artists here tonight to take the pledge -- a pledge that says: I will intervene in situations when consent has not or cannot be given."---Vice President Joe Biden
