One Billion Rising

One in three women on the planet is raped or beaten in her lifetime. That is ONE BILLION WOMEN violated. That’s ONE BILLION daughters, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, lovers, and friends. On 14th February 2013, V-Day’s 15th Anniversary, we are inviting ONE BILLION women and those who love them, to WALK OUT, DANCE, RISE UP, and DEMAND an end to this violence. Katie Flaschar, Outreach Coordinator of Safe Connections, stops by to talk about their mission, their upcoming fundraiser “Together” at Ritz Carlton, and to announce they will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and women and men across the world in solidarity to express their outrage, and to demand change. It’s the first-ever event in St. Louis and will be held at the Missouri History Museum, February 14, from 4:30-5 p.m. Be a part of the movement that’s going to move the earth.
