We will gather at Dolores Park between 11am and 1pm to listen to live bands and DJs, share food, and make signs. At 1pm we will dance our way through the Mission calling on people to leave work and school in a global strike against rape culture. When we reach 16th and Mission we will cover the ground with art and inspirational messages and dance in the streets. We will then continue to Civic Center/City Hall where we will join the flashmob and other festivities.
We are coming together for a healing process and creating space that fosters both joy and sadness, love and anger, art and action. We will be calling for people to leave their schools and workplaces as we pass by buildings in San Francisco and join this global strike against rape culture. We stand for a culture of consent.

ONE BILLION RISING: (Dance Through the Streets for a Culture of Consent)
(Mission Rising) JOINS GLOBAL CAMPAIGN - ONE BILLION RISING - TO STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND GIRLS
February 14, 2013 to be V-Days Largest Day of Action Ever
February 14, 2013, Mission Rising: On February 14, 2013, at 11a.m., Mission Rising will join with activists around the world for ONE BILLION RISING, the largest day of action in the history of V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against women and girls.
ONE BILLION RISING began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. On February 14, 2013, V-Days 15th anniversary, Mission Rising will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and women and men across the world as we express their outrage, demand change, strike, dance, and RISE in defiance of the injustices women suffer, demanding an end at last to violence against women.
When we started V-Day 14 years ago, we had the outrageous idea that we could end violence against women, said Ensler. Now, we are both stunned and thrilled to see that this global action is truly escalating and gaining force, with union workers, parliament members, celebrities, and women of all backgrounds coming forward to join the campaign. When we come together on February 14, 2013 to demand an end to violence against women and girls it will be a truly global voice that will rise up.
We will gather at Dolores Park between 11am and 1pm to listen to live bands and DJs, share food, and make signs. At 1pm we will dance our way through the Mission calling on people to leave work and school in a global strike against rape culture. When we reach 16th and Mission we will cover the ground with art and inspirational messages and dance in the streets. We will then continue to Civic Center/City Hall where we will join the flashmob and other festivities.
