The World Is Rising. Rising For Freedom, Rising Against Fascism

20 Feb The World Is Rising. Rising For Freedom, Rising Against Fascism

Posted at 17:30h in Newsletter, One Billion Rising, V-Day by

Our creative resistance is
ARTISTIC, OUTRAGEOUS, BOLD, UNITED, FIERCE, RADICAL.

We could not be more proud of this movement and of the tireless work of activists, survivors, artists worldwide, our OBR coordinators and their teams. When One Billion Rising launched, we envisioned it as a one-year campaign and yet, here we are at year 13 and it’s more intentional and impactful, and building every day thanks to all of you!

Together, we are demanding an end to violence against women and girls, gender expansive people and the Earth. We resist authoritarianism, threats to our bodies and environmental destruction.
