Inaugural Rising & Dance Against Violence
Sunday, January 20th, 12:00pm-1:00pm at Union Station
This is an opportunity to bring the
message of One Billion Rising to Washington DC for the inaugural.
Sunday, January 20th, many people will arrive at the train station for
the balls that begin that night. Between noon and 1 we will rise and
dance through the train station because "Yes we CAN-CAN" end war and violence against women! After the dances we will freeze for a few minutes and
then do a hug-in, because Arms are for Hugging. Join us to rock the
inauguration for women and One Billion Rising!
No drones at the Commander-in-Chief Ball!
