Rape Culture

We spoke to co-organizer Jodeen Olguín-Tayler about why it was important to bring together a multiracial group of women—including sexual assault survivors—to protest the Republican presidential nominee.

Union, an actress and rape survivor who stars in “The Birth of a Nation,” addressed her co-star Nate Parker’s 1999 case in a candid new op-ed.

Revived focus on a 17-year-old sexual assault case involving Parker and his “The Birth of a Nation” co-writer Jean Celestin—and the revelation that their accuser took her own life in 2012—has initiated a public conversation about rape and race.

“As a community we need to facilitate a process for those who are victims/survivors of abuse to help them heal and be made whole again.”

The suit alleges that the city and police force ignored previous complaints that could have taken the officer off the streets sooner.

Judge also rejected the former Oklahoma City police officer’s last-minute request for a new trial.

A year-long Associated Press investigation uncovered a staggering number of police officers accused of sexual assault and misconduct—including Daniel Holtzclaw, whose trial begins today. 

The new accusations coincide with a strange story from Kenan Thompson about his own interactions with Cosby. 

Damon Wayans says Cosby is being targeted by media because the black community stopped supporting him.
