Who do you think is worse at blending in at a college party: actor Adam Devine or Vice President Joe Biden?
Thanks to Funny or Die‘s latest video, we now know that it’s a toss up – both are hilariously bad at being undercover.
But after some shenanigans at the party, the two reveal why they went there in the first place – to address sexual assault on college campuses.
“One in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted by the time they leave college, and we can all work together to change that,” Biden said at the party.
“It’s on all of us to change the culture and prevent sexual assault.”
Biden then encouraged all the partygoers to pledge their, “personal commitment to help keep women and men safe from sexual assault,” on ItsOnUs.org, where students can sign the following pledge:
I PLEDGE
To RECOGNIZE that non-consensual sex is sexual assault.
To IDENTIFY situations in which sexual assault may occur.
To INTERVENE in situations where consent has not or cannot be given.
To CREATE an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
Biden addressed a related issue on Law and Order last week – he appeared as himself on the show to advocate for ending the rape kit backlog.
Biden and Devine aren’t the only influencers to recently point out that college campuses are a key place to prevent sexual violence. Emma Watson’s recent speech at the UN addressed the issue of sexual assault on college campuses as well.
