INTERVIEW
In this episode of Catalyst Radio we learn about One Billion Rising – an event to address violence against women. Set for Thursday – Valentine’s Day – the globally staged One Billion Rising marks the 15th anniversary of Eve Ensler’s V-Day, and is a celebration of women, where all can unite in solidarity and “rise up.” The Grand Rapids One Billion Rising is a dance event set for Eastern Hall. Hear more from organizers Chelsea Jandernoa and Mariah Kennedy, and supporter Tyler Jandernoa, and how the local event will benefit the groups Not This Girl and Michigan Abolitionist Project.
