E33: The Power of Campus Community | Ray Epstein on Expanding Justice and Allyship – Advocacy in Action
Episode 33
In today’s episode of Aspire, Co-hosts Chessy Prout and Katie Shipp welcome new Co-host Charlotte Lee, a senior at Georgetown Day School interning with I Have the Right To. They sit down with Ray Epstein, a recent Temple University grad, survivor, and campus leader.
Ray recounts her experience founding Student Activists Against Sexual Assault at Temple, and creating a supportive community on campus for survivors and allies. The group discusses the importance of early consent education, how school responses shape survivor experiences, and the challenges of the "red zone", the critical first months of college when risks are highest.
Ray emphasizes evolving definitions of justice, the vital role of adult allies, and expanding movements to include all students, not just survivors. Her leadership proves the importance the younger generations play in driving change to a culture of activism and allyship.
