“She’s not my type.”
That’s what the sitting president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, said when asked about E. Jean Carroll’s accusation of sexual assault in the 1990s — as if it would be some badge of honor to have been his type.
HARRISBURG—The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape is grateful for the Rape Crisis increase in the General Assembly’s 2019-20 spending plan. We applaud members of the House and Senate for prioritizing funding for victims of sexual harassment, abuse, and assault and Gov. Tom Wolf for his ongoing commitment to campus sexual assault prevention through the It’s on Us campaign.
The 10% increase—approximately $900 thousand of the $34-billion state budget—was signed by Gov. Wolf today.
