Alex and Jared tackle a tough topic taking their Alma mater by storm. Abuse, wether it be racial, sexual, or misogynistic should never be tolerated and gone unheard by any institution especially one of learning.

There is power in numbers, and we hope to enlighten the fact that we are not alone in this fight, and that hopefully we can help support those who are looking for help and give strength to those not ready to share.
