Jenna Pope photojournal: One Billion Rising - NYC

ONE BILLION RISING IS:

A global strike
An invitation to dance
A call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture ends
An act of solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality of their struggles and their power in numbers
A refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given
A new time and a new way of being

On Valentine's Day, I attended three events in NYC that were a part of a large, global day of action called One Billion Rising. Below are photos from an action in Times Square:
