WHAT: A protest against silencing of rape victims in response to a ruling against rape survivors by a judge in Lincoln, NE. The judge issued a court order banning the victim, Tory Bowen, and prosecutors from using the words “victim,” “assailant,” “rape,” “date rape drugs,” “sexual assault kit,” and “sexual assault nurse examiner.” Last week, he declared a mistrial due to media attention and protests, trying again to ban free speech!
