Vagina Monologues

Have you heard of V-Day?  In college I was a huge supporter of the movement.  I was in Vagina Monologues twice in college and helped organize bake sales the other two years to help raise money during the performances.  I haven't seen Vagina Monologues in years but decided that I want to see it this year :)  you can find out where you can see Vagina Monologues near you by visiting their website http://www.vday.org/home

For those of you who don't know what Vday is:
V-Day is a global activist movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM) and sex slavery.

V-Day is an organized response against violence toward women.
V-Day is a vision: We see a world where women live safely and freely.
V-Day is a demand: Rape, incest, battery, genital mutilation and sexual slavery must end now.
V-Day is a spirit: We believe women should spend their lives creating and thriving rather than surviving or recovering from terrible atrocities.
V-Day is a catalyst: By raising money and consciousness, it will unify and strengthen existing anti-violence efforts. Triggering far-reaching awareness, it will lay the groundwork for new educational, protective, and legislative endeavors throughout the world.
V-Day is a process: We will work as long as it takes. We will not stop until the violence stops.
V-Day is a day. We proclaim Valentine's Day as V-Day, to celebrate women and end the violence.
V-Day is a fierce, wild, unstoppable movement and community. Join us!

PS--I wonder how many spam comments I'm going to get for using the word Vagina so many times...
