Share YOUR Story

Use Your Voice!
Via


In the essence of Rise! Strike! Dance! we are going to share some anonymous stories. Please share with us and your fellow compassionate humans a brief (approx. 300 words) story of what makes you tick.

You can share what makes you happy.
What makes you angry.
Who makes you want to Rise! Strike! Dance!
What is your motivation?

You are welcome to share the difficulties you have seen, or the trials you have faced, or the beauty of the snow on the mountains as you drive to work and why this makes you feel human. 

Please, just share something true to you. 

Please email your story to OBRSLC@gmail.com (or submit via private message via facebook). Also, let us know how you would like to be identified: ie (initials only, age/location only, or make up a screen-name)

Who are YOU?

One Billion Rising is about creating a community that rises up, celebrates and enforces the strike against violence. We are individuals and a community.

Please leave some nouns in the comments section that describe you, so we can see the varied experiences that bring us all together and can help us start to feel like there are others in this group we can/will relate to.

No person is one thing. No one noun can embody who you are. That is the beauty of humanity.

Am I invited?

Sometimes you see an event and think to yourself:

  • "Am I invited?" 
  • "Will I know anyone?"
  • "Will I fit in?" 
The answer is yes, yes, YES!
(Especially with your help)

Woman, Man, Child....everyone is invited. 
Everyone can participate.
Everyone will have fun.
Most people might learn something.
Everyone should leave with a smile!

Do you work with an organization that you would like to get involved? Please contact us.
We will be creating flyers to encourage attendees and we would love it if YOU and YOUR company/group/zumba class/family/community would like to help spread the word and add your own FLAVOR to the mix.

A soup is not a meal until you add the ingredients and the spices...we need your talents, your beauty and your enthusiasm to turn this day into an EVENT!

The plan!


We have some amazing people coming together to plan 2 amazing, empowering days of celebration!
