The Zero Campaign

Girl Talk, in response to a brutal gang rape at Richmond High, has created the Zero Campaign.
Zero tolerance for sexual assault and zero victims of rape and assault. We have gone into classrooms to talk about the rape in Richmond, to educate, and to rally students in support of the victim and her family. We have held a student rally that included student speakers, poets, and outreach in the form of statistics regarding sexual assault and rape. We have raised money for the victim and her family. The rally has inspired a teacher at Casa Grande High to shift the focus of a previously planned teach in from poverty to women's issues. We are also in contact with United Against Sexual Assault and will be working with them when possible.
