Join us and one billion people around the world on Valentine’s Day as we rise and dance in the name of freedom and equality for women and girls.  In conjunction with the One Billion Rising global events our Santa Cruz event will be a free, family-friendly, participatory experience for all women and girls and those who love them, to stand up against violence that affects 1 in 3 women and girls around the world.  Our goal is to educate, network, inspire, and activate going forward.
