V-DAY is February 14. Time to remind those woman-hating repukes what this is about

About V-Day


V-Day is a global activist movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sex slavery.

V-Day is an organized response against violence toward women.

V-Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely.

V-Day is a demand: Rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery must end now.

V-Day is a spirit: We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities.

V-Day is a catalyst: By raising money and consciousness, it will unify and strengthen existing anti-violence efforts. Triggering far-reaching awareness, it will lay the groundwork for new educational, protective, and legislative endeavors throughout the world.

V-Day is a process: We will work as long as it takes. We will not stop until the violence stops.

V-Day is a day. We proclaim Valentine's Day as V-Day, to celebrate women and end the violence.

V-Day is a fierce, wild, unstoppable movement and community. Join us!

1. We're having our second production of The Vagina Monologues next weekend
Here in conservative Alamogordo, NM we decided to raise some awareness of sexual assault, celebrate women and help local agencies who help survivors.

On the other hand, I attended a town meeting with our US Rep (R) Steve Pearce and asked if he would oppose HR 3, limiting women's right to choice funding...he gave some spiel about protecting the unborn embryos and fetuses. This man is slimey to the core.
