Welcome to a daylong event at Judson Memorial Church in New York City, titled “How We Do Freedom: Rising Against Fascism.” Organized by V-Day, One Billion Rising, and Judson Memorial Church, this event brings together speakers, poets, artists, and activists to discuss the impact of fascism on various aspects of society. From women’s bodies to anti-Blackness, LGBTQ+ suppression, book banning, history erasure, immigration bans, and more, the event aims to address the rise of fascism globally.
One of the key speakers at this event is V, formerly known as Eve Ensler, the founder of V-Day and One Billion Rising. V highlights the urgent need to resist fascism and build a movement that can combat its oppressive forces. The event will feature discussions, artistic responses, and deep explorations into the nature of fascism and how communities can come together to resist it.
The event not only critiques fascism but also focuses on developing strategies to tackle it. By educating ourselves, understanding the nature of fascism, and creating alternative solutions, we can work towards a more inclusive and interconnected society that stands up against oppression.
