One in three women on the planet is raped or beaten in her lifetime. That is one billion women violated. One billion daughters, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, lovers and friends. On 14th February 2013, V-Day's 15th Anniversary, we are inviting one billion women and those who love them to walk out, dance, rise up and demand an end to this violence. One Billion Rising will move the earth, activating women and men to dance across every country.

One Billion Ely will take place at the Ely American Legion Hall, 1545 Main Street, in Ely. Starting with a candlelight vigil and remembrance at 5:00pm, we will then rise up and add our voices and dancing with others around the globe by participating in a dance session led by certified Zumba instructor Allison Scheer.
