Lady Gaga & Joe Biden Want to Remind Sexual Assault Survivors They Aren't Alone

In 2014, former Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama created the It’s On Us campaign. The message behind the movement was a simple yet powerful one: end sexual assault on college campuses and fundamentally shift the way we think, discuss, and help survivors of sexual assault.

Now, bisexual pop icon Lady Gaga is part of the campaign, teaming up with Biden to create PSA video that she tweeted to her millions of followers yesterday.

Gaga's been open in the past about her experiences with sexual assault, and wants to remind those who have experienced sexual assault that they are not alone.

"Lady Gaga has been the voice for people who have been forgotten, the people that have been abused. It happened to her and she’s shown enormous courage," Biden said of Gaga in the video. "We want to make it real clear: It’s on us, it’s on everyone to intervene, to stop abuse when they see it."

Gaga continues:

"I am a sexual assault survivor. I know the effects, the aftermath, the trauma―psychological, physical, mental. It can be terrifying waking up everyday feeling unsafe in your own body."
