Changing Maine Gathering: Feminist Values

 

Changing Maine Gathering


Sunday, January 27, 2013


(snow date tba)
Feminist Values: Abundance or Scarcity?

Feminism Beyond Equality - Reclaiming the Domestic Sphere 

What are feminist values anyway? Are they a good fit for you? Where do you see feminist values -- or their absence -- in place during the 21st century? Can

we afford to keep traveling down the road we are presently on with environmental degradation, endless war, corporate government, and burgeoning

economic/social inequality? Please bring your ideas about whether this is a useful discussion to have right now.
Viles (Pine Tree State) Arboretum, Augusta

10am - 4pm

This will be conducted as an Occupy General Assembly style discussion with topics coming from the large group, then break out

sessions according to interest, followed by a report back of main points of discussion in small groups to the large group.
Pot luck lunch.

Childcare available on request.

Sliding scale fee $20 - $0 (We welcome all, whatever amount you can pay.)
We encourage people to register by January 10 to help with meal and travel planning, though last minute registrations will be accepted.  Registration materials and directions will be e/mailed after you register.

ONE IN THREE WOMEN ON THE PLANET WILL BE RAPED OR BEATEN IN HER LIFETIME.
ONE BILLION WOMEN VIOLATED IS AN ATROCITY
ONE BILLION WOMEN DANCING IS A REVOLUTION

On V-Day’s 15th Anniversary, 2.14.13, 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 across every country. V-Day wants the world to see our collective strength, our numbers, our solidarity across borders.

What does ONE BILLION look like? On February 14th, 2013, it will look like a REVOLUTION.

ONE BILLION RISING IS:

A global strike
An invitation to dance
A call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture ends
An act of solidarity, demonstrating to women the commonality of their struggles and their power in numbers
A refusal to accept violence against women and girls as a given
A new time and a new way of being

more details on this event will be announced soon
