Then we speak with Susan Swan, Executive Director of VDay, and Mary Owen of Bay Area Rising about this year’s One Billion Rising/VDay event in Oakland, where they will screen City of Joy, a film about the leadership institute for sexual violence survivors in the Congo. The film screening takes place Wednesday, February 13, at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland; it will be preceded by drumming and dancing with Afia Walking Tree and Destiny Arts, and followed by a discussion with playwright and VDay founder Eve Ensler and Christine Schuler-Deschryver (Director of the City of Joy center and V-Day Congo). These One Billion Rising events usually sell out so get tickets now!
