When Brock Turner, a former student at Stanford University in California, was sentenced in June 2016 to only six months for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman, many people were understandably outraged. And they were even more angry when Turner was released on September 2nd after serving only half of his already meagre sentence.

In response to this miscarriage of justice, Yana Mazurkevich, a 20-year-old student at Ithaca College in New York, decided to create the photo series you can see below. The project, titled “It Happened”, was made for a sexual assault awareness media platform called Current Solutions, and as you can see, the message is pretty powerful. As Mazurkevich wrote on her Facebook page, “In response to Brock Turner’s early release, this photo series aims to continue the conversation on sexual assault, As well as to raise a huge finger to Turner and his 3-month jail time.” (Source)

I stand with Standing Rock, and there are a number of ways you can too. From the ACLU:

“In below freezing weather last night, law enforcement deployed tear gas, water cannons, percussion grenades, and rubber bullets against hundreds protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline.

News reports confirm over 160 people have been injured.

This sovereign nation of the Standing Rock Sioux – one of many constantly threatened by environmental injustice – is fighting to keep its water safe and clean by means of an historic protest.

But law enforcement agencies are treating them like wartime enemies. Riot police raiding a protest camp even yanked indigenous people from prayer in sweat lodges.

North Dakota has received $3 million worth of military equipment from the federal government through the Defense Department’s 1033 program. On top of that, more than a half dozen states have sent equipment and officers to North Dakota.

Tell the DOJ to investigate possible constitutional violations and suspend police use of federally supplied military equipment.”

You can sign the ACLU’s petition to the Department of Justice (just a few thousand more signatures are needed) HERE.

You can sign the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s letter to President Obama to permanently stop the pipeline HERE.

You can donate directly to The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s DAPL fund HERE.

And you can buy these awesome official fundraiser t-shirts HERE.

Spread the word!
