With horrific stats that report that one in three women/girls on the planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime, it’s due time that stronger preventative actions were taken.
On Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2015, at 5pm, there will be a call to action at the Dress Shop in Allentown. That is where people (all people) will gather to raise awareness of the issue that affects us all.
Each year people from around the world come together in solidarity in an inspirational movement known as 1 Billion Rising. The rally is a call to the 1 billion people who hail from 207 countries that are part of this growing tidal wave of support, understanding and action. It is these people who take time from their busy days to create a different type of positive energy through collective music and dance.
“This year, on for February 14, 2015, we are calling on everyone, everywhere, to harness their energy and imagination to “rise” for justice.” – 1 Billion Rising
