“It’s On Us” Campaign Launches New ‘One Thing’ PSA

WASHINGTON, DC, Sep 8, 2015 – As college students return to campus for the new school year, the “It’s On Us” campaign released a new PSA today titled ‘One Thing.’ In addition, the campaign announced today new partnerships with the Ad Council and Chegg.

The ‘One Thing’ PSA stresses that sex without consent is rape, and features Zoe Saldana, Josh Hutcherson, Johnathan Cho, Nina Dobrev, the Haim sisters, Minka Kelly, Matt McGorry, and Jessica Szohr. The PSA reminds students as they return to school or begin their freshman year that sex isn’t sex unless consent is given.

“Consent is one of the most important things two people can give each other, and without it, it’s rape,” Anne Johnson, Executive Director of Generation Progress said. “More sexual assaults occur on college campuses during the first few months of the school, so now is a critical time to remind students that consent should never be assumed.”

The “It’s On Us” PSA was made possible through support from the PVBLIC Foundation, Mekanism, the Kering Corporate Foundation, and The Ad Council.

In conjunction with the release of the PSA, the “It’s On Us” campaign is proud to announce new partnerships in 2015:

  • The Kering Corporate Foundation which is committed on a two-year partnership, will engage its employees and support campus organizations to fight sexual assault.
  • The Ad Council, the non-profit leader of public service campaigns, will be distributing the PSAs this week to its network of more than 20,000 media outlets nationwide. The ads will air and run in time and space donated by the media.
  • Chegg will work with “It’s On Us” on an original polling project to study baseline attitudes of students on sexual assault. The company will also share the “It’s On Us” message with their users and across their multiple platforms that reach millions of students and parents annually. As the student hub, Chegg makes higher education more affordable, more accessible and more successful for students.

The “It’s On Us” campaign 85 partner organizations will promote the PSA this fall and engaging local student groups in talking about consent and ending campus sexual assault.

In September 2014, PVBLIC Foundation partnered with the White House to launch the “It’s On Us” campaign, aimed at fundamentally shifting the way we think about sexual assault. The campaign is a rallying cry inviting everyone to step up and realize the solution begins with us. Please visit ItsOnUs.org to take the pledge.

PSA SCRIPT
There’s one thing I can never have sex without. It’s not something I carry in my wallet.
It’s not something I can buy or something I made.
In fact, there’s only one way for me to get it:
It has to be given to me. It’s consent.
And without it, I can’t have sex and neither can you.
Because sex without it . . . is not sex. It’s rape.
Consent. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it.
It’s on all of us to stop sexual assault. Learn how and take the pledge at itsonus.org.

All-Star Environmental Anthem Now Available on All Music Download and Streaming Platforms

NEW YORK, NY, Sep 14, 2015 – Internationally renowned artists have come together to record a song to support the UN Secretary-General’s leadership on climate change and the United Nations’ call for a meaningful, universal, global climate change agreement to be signed by governments in December.

“Love Song to the Earth features performances by Paul McCartney, Jon Bon Jovi, Sheryl Crow, Fergie, Colbie Caillat, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis, Sean Paul, Johnny Rzeznik, Krewella, Angelique Kidjo (a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador), Kelsea Ballerini, Nicole Scherzinger, Christina Grimmie, Victoria Justice and Q’Orianka Kilcher.

Written by Toby Gad, Natasha Bedingfield, John Shanks and Sean Paul, and produced by Toby Gad and John Shanks, the song was released last week exclusively on iTunes and Apple Music via Connect. PVBLIC Foundation has partnered with Jerry Cope, Toby Gad, the UN Foundation, Friends of the Earth, the Climate Reality Project and all the artists to make the ‘Love Song to the Earth’ known and available around the world.

After a very successful week on iTunes in the US where the song has received thousands of downloads, it will enjoy a wide release on Friday, September 11th at 12:01am EDT on all major music distribution and streaming services around the world including Spotify, Amazon, eMusic, Google play and many more. How many more? Look here: http://help.tunecore.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48.

In addition to the song’s release, Executive Director Jerry Cope has also produced and co-directed a “lyric video” premiering September 11, which will feature breathtaking film from around the world by award-winning cinematographer Louie Schwartzberg, a pioneer in time-lapse cinematography and director of inspiring nature films DisneyNature: Wings of Life and Mysteries of the Unseen World. The “Love Song” lyric video includes some of the artists, along with scientists, celebrities, Friends of the Earth members and people all over the world holding signs reading: “Keep it Safe,” “It’s Our World” and “Love Song to the Earth.” The “cast” of the lyric video includes scientist and explorer Sylvia Earle; environmentalist and author Bill McKibben; “Love Song” performers Colbie Caillat, Natasha Bedingfield, Angelique Kidjo, Kelsea Ballerini, and Q’Orianka Kilcher; keyboardist Chuck Leavell of the Allman Brothers Band and Rolling Stones and founder of the Mother Nature Network (MNN); “Love Songdirector Jerry Cope and his family; comedian Lewis Black; writer/producer Toby Gad and his family; Lyn Lear; UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall; and concludes with members of the Batwa Tribe in Uganda.

In December 2015, the world’s leaders will assemble in Paris for COP21 in an effort to sign a meaningful, universal global agreement on climate change. The song’s producers hope that “Love Song to The Earth” will bring the issue to new audiences and inspire them to reach out to their leaders to demand climate action. The artists will be asking their fans to “Share the Love Song” and “Take Climate Action Now” by signing a petition that will be delivered to world leaders at the beginning of the climate conference.

“The UN has called for ‘all hands on deck’ to address this global challenge. The support, engagement, and passion of the creative community are key to engaging new audiences in the call for a meaningful and universal climate change agreement. When UN member states gather in Paris this December, the voices of everyone, especially the entertainment industry, will help ensure the best outcome possible for a better future for all,” said Aaron Sherinian, chief communications and marketing officer of the UN Foundation.

Love Song for the Earth will join The Climate Reality Project and Friends of the Earth as a partner for 24 Hours of Reality and Live Earth: The World is Watching, and will add the voices of artists and fans to the millions across the planet speaking up to demand a strong climate agreement in Paris.

Songwriter/producer Toby Gad explains, “When the UN asked me to write a song about climate change I felt honored and inspired. So, my friends and I wrote ‘Love Song to The Earth’, focusing on a positive message about how precious our only planet is. We went on to produce the all-star version of ‘Love Song’ for a September 2015 release. Jerry Cope, a dedicated activist and powerful visionary, was instrumental in pulling the strings together for the single and masterminding the videos. I hope this song will broaden the audience for this urgent message and give the politicians emotional support for meaningful climate agreement in Paris 2015.”

“We wanted to write a song that is about how when you love something, you look after it,” says Bedingfield. “Many people turn a blind eye arguing that everything is ok environmentally. The song reminds us that having ownership of our world means taking care of it. Many people in my generation have grown up with fear about the future, and while we know about the environmental issues, we’re unsure if there is any hope. With this song we wanted to talk about the environment in a way that would help people feel empowered to do something rather than be paralyzed by fear.”

Jerry Cope adds, “The earth’s climate supports the rhythm of life and music touches our very souls. Toby Gad, John Shanks, Natasha Bedingfield and I began the Love Song project to raise voices and spirits to support the world’s leaders this year as they negotiate a global climate agreement in Paris this December. It is critically important that we take the actions necessary to ensure a stable, safe climate system for all life on the planet. It is our Love Song to the Earth.”

Epic Foundation Launches Global “IPO-Inspired” Roadshow for Nonprofits

Global Nonprofit Startup Will Present Its 2015 Portfolio of 20 Selected Organizations to Donors in Multiple Cities

NEW YORK, NY, Sep 15, 2015 –  After receiving more than 1400 applications from 85 countries, Epic Foundation, in partnership with the PVBLIC Foundation, an in-kind media grant making organization, announces today its first global portfolio of 20 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and social enterprises. The goal of the portfolio is to provide the next generation of donors access to organizations with the most effective solutions for fighting inequalities faced by children and youth around the world. The team will debut its findings over the next four months to its community of entrepreneurs, private banks, family offices, “voices” (e.g. entertainers and athletes), startups and corporate donors, through a “global roadshow” in order to attract large donations for the portfolio of organizations.

The roadshow will stop in more than 15 cities, including New York, London, San Francisco, Paris, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Singapore, Brussels, Sao Paulo, Mumbai and Geneva.

“Through the portfolio and global roadshow, we are connecting the next generation of donors with organizations that are saving lives and empowering children and youth globally. Our aim is to provide each organization with crucially needed multi-year funding so they can scale their impact,” said Alexandre Mars, CEO and Founder. Epic Foundation will distribute 100% of the funds it receives from donors to the portfolio of organizations. This enables donors to give to portfolio organizations while receiving the ongoing support and capabilities of Epic Foundation, at no cost to them.

Epic Foundation provides new avenues for donors to engage with their philanthropy and the organizations they support through technology and services. The team will launch two innovative web and mobile-based applications for donors in 2015 and early 2016. In addition, Epic Foundation commits to monitoring and reporting the ongoing impact of each portfolio organization for its donors.

Epic Foundation selected the organizations using a state-of-the-art methodology that was developed based on a global review of the best public and private sector approaches to analyzing organizations. The team reviewed each of the +1400 applicants across all areas of their work — impact, operations and leadership — using a three-stage process that included in-depth analysis, interviews with management and field evaluations. The final stage of the process took the team across 11 countries as they traveled to each of the top 50 finalist organizations to validate findings, and select the 20 portfolio organizations.

The portfolio organizations work across four sectors within the field of child and youth-related causes: Health, Education, Rights and Protection, and Economic Empowerment. The portfolio has a global reach with organizations based in East Africa, Brazil, Western Europe, India, Southeast Asia and the United States.

“We have used our passion, our energy and one of the most advanced selection methodologies to review +1400 applications: I am confident that the resulting 2015 Epic Portfolio includes some of the finest NGOs and social enterprise around the world,” said Nicola Crosta, Executive Vice President of Epic Foundation.
