Dear Activist,
According
to the UN, 1 in 3 women will experience rape or violence
in her lifetime. That's over One Billion Women!
Join CODEPINK and over 10,000 other organizations in 193 countries around the world for One Billion Rising, a global day of action on February 14 to strike, dance, and rise to end rape and gender violence! Tell us why you are rising!
In recent years alone, massive numbers of women
and girls – and sometimes men and boys – have suffered
not only the physical trauma of rape and gender violence
in war and other conflict situations, but also the shame
and stigma that often leaves survivors suffering in
silence. It's time to stop the violence and end the silence! Will you rise with us this Valentine's Day? Tell us why you are rising! Join an event locally or create your own action, and we'll give you the tools to rise in your community! Let's Strike, Dance, and Rise together! In peace and nonviolence,
Alli, Holly, Jodie, Medea, Nancy, Liza, Sam and Tighe P.S. During
the Presidential Inauguration in Washington DC, CODEPINK
brought the message of One Billion Rising in a Yes We Can-Can End Violence flashmob
as people from all over trickled into town for the
Inaugural balls. In San Francisco, hundreds joined the
biggest flashmob dance ritual to break the chains of violence against women and girls. Join the movement on 2/14! |
