Biden, Lady Gaga to team up for Oscars presentation

Vice President Joe Biden and Lady Gaga are teaming up for a special presentation during Sunday’s Academy Awards focused on sexual violence.

Biden will introduce Lady Gaga to perform her song “Till It Happens to You,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

{mosads}The song, about campus sexual assault, was written with songwriter Diane Warren for “The Hunting Ground,” a documentary about incidents of sexual assault on college campuses.

After the song, Biden, the main author for the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, will discuss the administration’s “It’s On Us” campaign — a national push to raise awareness about and prevent sexual assault on campuses.

Biden will encourage audience members and viewers to go to the It’s On Us website and take a pledge to “intervene” during incidents of sexual assault, to support survivors and to “create an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable.”
