Invitation to One Billion Rising Event

Joining thousands of women and men around the world, we invite you,
your colleagues, neighbors, friends and family to a Community Speakout
to End Violence Against Women being held under the auspices of Eve
Ensler’s international One Billing Rising project.

On the 15th Anniversary of V-Day, a global activist movement to end
violence against women and girls, the Arlington Speakout will take
place:

Time:  Thursday, February 14, 2013 from 7–9  PM

Location:       Calvary Church United Methodist, 300 Mass. Ave.
Arlington, MA 02474
Directions:     Near Spy Pond, street parking, 77, 79, 350 bus routes

One Billion Rising will move the earth, activating women and men
across every country.
V-Day wants the world to see our collective strength, our numbers, our
solidarity across borders.

One Billion Rising is:

A global strike
An invitation to dance
A call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo
until rape and rape culture end
An act of solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality of our
struggles and our power in numbers
A refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given
A new time and a new way of being
