Global Actions Show Solidarity with Columbia University Rape Survivor 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
College students around the world carried mattresses on Wednesday in a
global day of action against sexual assault and in solidarity with
Columbia University student Emma Sulkowicz. Earlier this year, Sulkowicz
vowed to carry her mattress everywhere on campus until the student who
she says raped her in her dorm room is either expelled or leaves of his
own accord. To see our interview with her go to democracynow.org.
