There was also a table at the game about the campaign, and everyone in SAAC signed a pledge card. “The language of the campaign seems like a no-brainer,” said Thomas. “It’s an important topic that doesn’t often get brought up.” The It’s On Us Campaign resonated with Thomas and many of PLU’s athletes. “[Intervening] is something everyone should do,” said Thomas.
