One Billion Rising

On Thursday, February 14th, women and men around the world will make their voices heard. One Billion Rising, an initiative launched by the global non-profit V-Day will celebrate women and call for an end to violence against women and girls everywhere.  This effort, led by Eve Ensler, founder of  V-Day, will showcase people on every continent demanding full rights and equality for women.

My wife and I enthusiastically support V-Day and One Billion Rising.   Full equality for women and an end to misogynistic behavior toward them is an absolute requirement for evolving a human society that is fair and sustainable over the long term.  On Valentine's Day, February 14th,  we will stand firmly with the one billion souls around the world who are rising.
