Activists including Eve Ensler, Rosario Dawson, Dr. Debbie Almontaser, and others gathered last Tuesday as part of 1 Billion Rising Revolution against the exploitation of women.
The organization’s website provided the following information: “Tuesday, February 14, women and men throughout the US and in 200 countries worldwide [came] together [to] RISE to end violence against all women and girls (cis, transgender and gender non-conforming) as part of V-Day’s massive annual One Billion Rising campaign, including this just-announced rally – ‘Artistic Uprising – A Call for Revolutionary Love’ – [and took] place in Washington Square Park. The rally [featured] performances and speeches by artists and activists.”
