One Billion Rising

One Billion Rising.

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

This February join one billion women and those who love them and me to WALK OUT, DANCE, RISE UP and DEMAND. If one is confronted by an awful situation, then one must dance. Dance out the emotion, dance out the memories and dance to freedom.

V-Day is one of the most well respected and highest rated organisations and was created with the seemingly simple goal of ending violence against women. This coming Valentine's day and every Valentine's day until the violence ends, men, women, children (and other) should come and join together and dance. Dance because that is the best way to rise, the best way for a revolution. This is a global strike and a chance for everyone to stand up against rape and rape culture, stand up against violence and violence against the world's women. This is power in numbers, a new time for acceptance and new way of living and being. This is not a one off thing, this is a foundation of people that will continue to rise until the end of rape and violence.

In the words of Emma Goldman; "A REVOLUTION WITHOUT DANCING IS A REVOLUTION NOT WORTH HAVING."

So head to the website, find out the details and find a rising near you. Rally the people around you and stand up for a cause worth dancing for, that's worth a revolution. Head to this website for more information and to join  >> One Billion Rising.

What a great revolution. To dance. Who doesn't love to dance? Sure it can be embarrassing. Sure it can be awkward. But it makes you feel so good. If you say you can't dance then I beg to differ with you there. Everyone can dance. According to Wicked (the best musical on this earth - I haven't seen Matilda yet),  you should dance through life. You should also defy gravity but let's take it one step at a time. We don't all have a flying broom. Get out there and join your fellow man. Change the world through movement.

I mean do you really have anything better to do on one of the most annoying days of the year? Even if you think you have something better to do, you really don't. What could be more important than standing up for what is right? If you still aren't convinced to join this more than worthy cause, then do it to rebel against that awful, atrocious, abomination of a movie that they call Valentine's Day.

Do it because you can.
