Please check out these write-ups in the local newspapers about the One Billing Rising event:
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.
This free event will be held at the Museum of Art and History in downtown Santa Cruz on February 14th, 2013 from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm and will be preceded at 5:00 by a candlelight walk along Pacific Avenue from the Memorial Plaza to the Museum. All proceeds will be donated to local participating organizations dedicated to the prevention of violence against women, on an individual, communal, and systematic level: Survivors Healing Center, Walnut Avenue Women’s Center, Women’s Crisis Support~Defensa de Mujeres and Rising International.
