Valentine's Day is now one of my favoriate holidays, because it now represents rising up for women's rights, and because I can show up with thousands across the world to dance our protests to end violence. Did you know that one in three women will be raped or beaten in their lives? Check out onebillionrising.org for more info.
A dance was coreagraphed. Eek. I didn't think I could learn it. But I showed up and did my best, and loved every minute of it. We started on the Statehouse lawn in Montpelier. And then took over the main intersection. Video here. I then traveled to Burlington to partake in a parade and more festivities.
I am so grateful.
I was most inspired by my friend who works with youth, who taught her students the dance. Their presence and buy-in was so inspiring. It was also inspiring that a group of people in Montpelier meet many times before the protest to learn the dance. Wow. Just wow. Thank you! What a great community to be a part of.
