Let's Dance Together

One In Three Women On The Planet Will Be Raped Or Beaten In Her Lifetime.

One Billion Women Violated Is An Atrocity.

One Billion Women Dancing Is A Revolution.

Rise up, stand, dance.
Join the revolution.
You, me and 1 billion more.

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 ends
An act of solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality 

of their struggles and their power in numbers
A refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given
A new time and a new way of being

I rise for Jyoti Singh Pandey, 24,
 medical student, India

I rise for Dawn and Gladys and the aboriginal women of Canada.

I rise for Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung,
her students and teachers.
USA

I rise for Malala Yousafzai, 14
Pakistan

I rise for the many men and women
who cannot rise and dance.
Today I became part of the revolution of 
women and men who will WALK OUT, DANCE, RISE UP,
 and DEMAND an end to violence 
against women and girls on 2.14.13.

Won't you dance with me?
February 14, 2013.

I am rising because when women rise, 

a whole and healing Earth rises with us.
