ONE BILLION RISING: VALENTINE'S DAY 2013

WOMAN! I AM CALLING TO YOU! AWAKEN TO YOUR POWER!

Thank you, Eve Ensler, for the Vagina Monologues and now One Billion Rising.

If you are in Saint Louis there is a flashmob to RISE UP and DANCE in solidarity with the one out of every three women in the world that have been raped and/or assaulted by men.

This is the best gift you can give ANY woman on Valentine's Day.  We are 51% of the world's population.  We deserve a safer, better world.

The flashmob is at the Missouri History Museum, and the dance begins at 4:30 PM.

Everyone that can participate in this should.

As part of One Billion Rising, I will be sharing my story.  I hope to have it published here by tomorrow.

If you are a rape or abuse survivor, I encourage you to tell your story. The time for women to be ashamed about what men have done to us is over.

It is time to speak our truth.

It is time to RISE UP!

Learn the dance from Debbie Allen: http://onebillionrising.org/blog/entry/let-debbie-allen-teach-you-the-steps-to-the-break-the-chain-choreography

(With one in three women the victim of violence and/or rape, it actually comes to about 1.16 Billion, if you take 7 billion world population, 50% female, etc.)
