9th and 10th graders in
Caracas, VENEZUELA
rose and danced
Over 300 cities rose in GERMANY and thousands danced in public squares
One Billion Rising is a joyous recognition of the
sacred and how it must never be made profane by
any person, institution or government. Violence and
the oppression of women is the core wound that
foreshadows all other problems in the world, from
poverty to war to destruction of the environment.
Rising is not only dance, it is the birth of the future.
