One Billion Rising

The local action of the 2015 campaign of One Billion Rising, a mass demonstration launched three years ago to end violence against women, will take place tomorrow from 5 to 7 p.m. at Dodds and Eder Home in Sag Harbor.

Kate Mueth and the Neo-Political Cowgirls, an East End company of women dedicated to creating dance theater that explores the female voice, has organized the event, which will include a flash mob dance, poetic readings, and performances by Skylar Day, Lynn Blue, the East Hampton High School Key Club, and Escola de Samba BOOM.

Last February, One Billion Rising events took place in 200 countries, where women, men, and children gathered outside courthouses, police stations, government offices, embassies, and other public spaces to dance and show support for survivors of gender violence.

The Sag Harbor event is free and open to all. Donations will be welcomed and will benefit the Retreat.
