Today, I joined college students at the Affirmative Consent rally at the Capitol to speak in support of a H.B. 5376. This bill would standardize a policy at Connecticut colleges on sexual consent through positive affirmation from both parties. Sexual violence is unacceptable on any college campus and I will continue to fight for this bill’s passage as it makes its way through session.
