Tonight’s broadcast of Nightline, (12:35 AM, Tuesday morning on ABC) is scheduled to cover the new bill that is soon to be submitted in Indiana on Rape by Impersonation. It features Joyce Short, Sally Siegrist, the State Representative who championed the legislative change, and Abigail Finney, the victim in the Donald Grant Ward case that Ms. Short discusses in her TEDx Talk, When YES Means NO – The Truth About Consent.
Ms. Short covers the issue of #CONSENT and #FGKIA in greater depth in her new book, Your Consent – The Key to Conquering Sexual Assault that is currently available in a pre-release PDF, and will soon be released on Amazon.
Barring that no major news event prevents this episode from airing, you can live tweet Ms. Short @jm_short using hashtag #FGKIA for Freely Given, Knowledgeable and Informed Agreement, the meaning of CONSENT!
What an awesome program that sheds more light on what consent really means. It’s sickening that another rapist got away scott free as my rapist did several years ago. Keep up the great work Joyce. You are making great progress.
Thanks for your support Jenna! The wheels of social change move slowly. And enlightenment is the key to change.
Will be watching! Thank you!
