Hollywood’s Leading Men Speak Out Against Sexual Assault In Powerful PSA (VIDEO)

aaarom3After a speech by Vice President Joe Biden, The White House debuted their latest PSA tackling sexual assault.

The video features the President and Vice President, Benicio Del Toro, Daniel Craig, Steve Carell, Dulé Hill and Seth Meyers. It is the second PSA from the Obama administration focusing on violence against women and featuring famous men to spread the message.

In his speech, Biden pointed out “College and universities can no longer turn a blind eye and pretend rape and sexual assault doesn’t occur on their campuses.”

The Vice President added that he personally made phone calls to the actors in an effort to attach famous faces to this critical issue, saying “I’m not used to making calls to big old movie stars. But I called them. And every one of them said immediately, ‘What can I do?'”

The Obama administration hopes that this will inspire all men to care about and to talk about the very real problem of rape culture.
