The President called on all Americans to take personal responsibility to stop domestic violence and sexual assault as part of the White House’s ongoing ‘It’s On Us’ campaign. The President’s message was followed by Austin-based writer, activist and performance artist Brooke Axtell, who shared her personal story of domestic violence and a performance of “By the Grace of God” by Katy Perry.

President Obama: “All of us in our own lives have the power to set an example. It’s on us, all of us, to create a culture where violence is intolerable where survivors are supported and where all our young people, men and women, can go as far as their talent and dreams will take them.”

Brooke Axtell: “Authentic love does not devalue another human being. Authentic love does not silence, shame and abuse.”
