V To The Tenth New Orleans V-Day

April 10, 2008

New Orleans Hosts Eve Ensler’s V-Day 10th Anniversary

V-DaySo you’ve heard the news. Eve Ensler and crew (Oprah Winfrey, Salma Hayek, Jane Fonda, Jennifer Hudson, and a whole hosts of folks) will be converging on New Orleans this weekend.  Activists, filmmakers, thinkers, educators, etc. will all be present.  Will they/we be able to focus on the Vagina Monologues with all the activities in the city…that’s another question.
Superlove - April 11-12, 2008 - At the Superdome

V-Day New OrleansThe Superdome will be transformed into SUPERLOVE.  During these two days V-Day will reclaim the dome, making it into a place of empowerment and action.

Special wellness programs are being planned for the women of the Gulf South free of charge throughout the two days.  The space will feature events and programming - open to all - with international and local speakers, spoken word and performances, art installations, and more.

If you want more information on what’s going on this weekend, check out Eve Ensler’s official site. To get tickets, they are available at Ticketmaster here.

I want to thank everyone who does this work everyday locally and nationally who so often do not get the recognition they deserve.  It’s very easy to get caught up by the lights, camera, and the action, not to mention the star studded casts.  You are valuable to ending violence against women and you and I know WHO YOU ARE.
