Empowering Women!

I was asked recently to donate a painting to be auctioned at a V-Day production of The Vagina Monologues in California. Every year, local volunteers and college students produce benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own communities. In 2006, over 2700 V-Day benefit events took place by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls. For more information about V-Day, check out www.vday.org

And please... attend a V-Day event in your area. You will laugh, cry, get angry, and laugh some more. But most importantly, you'll be doing your part to stop violence against woman and girls. According to the website for the D-Day movement, The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina!

For those who are curious... the painting that I donated is called "Power Flower". You can see it by going here:
