Women Rising

WOMEN RISING




On Valentine's Day Friday
February 14 please join us at Noon at Main Street Café, 134 Main
Street in downtown Los Altos for our
second annual "Women Rising” event.

If you’re hungry, you can order lunch, a snack, or just coffee/tea. 

February 14 is the day of One
Billion Rising (http://onebillionrising.org),

a day on which one billion women all around the world will stand

up, walk out, dance, or take to the streets in response to this statistic:

1 in 3 women on the

planet will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. 

On this day, WOMEN~SV, in
collaboration with: 1) the Cardea Center
for Women; 2) At The Well;
3) Women and Money: Lifting the Fog
Salon; 4) Calling out the Brilliance
of Women, and other local women’s groups are inviting supportive women and men in our
community to rise up with people all around the world in celebration of our
strength, hope, courage, power--and love!

We also invite you to join with us in
affirming our commitment to work together towards a world in which every woman
and child lives in safety, peace, and freedom.  


Bring a poem, a song, a flower, or valentine to share what healthy
love means to you. Is it respect, forgiveness, patience, compassion, the sharing
of hopes and dreams? The sharing of power, wealth, responsibility?

What does healthy love mean to you?

Bring something to share or just bring yourself. But do join us!

Because it's an important day, an historic day, the day the tide turns and

women rise up to show the world the meaning of true love.
