Flash mob rises up against violence
Thursday, 14 February 2013 16:13
     A fun event with a serious message took over the lunch hour Thursday at Main Street Square. It's a worldwide event called One Billion Rising. The idea is to get people all over the world to rise up against violence against women.

     That includes this choreographed dance that was taught to women all over the world through internet videos. Sabrina LaCroix says, "It's really about just bringing women together. Like Mallory said, just stopping what we're doing, stop being victims, rising up and saying enough is enough, and bringing awareness to the violence that happens to women every single day. Just time to say stop it, it's enough. We've had enough."

     Thursday's event was supported by Working Against Violence, Incorporated. Participants were invited to make posters to show that they were rising against violence against women.
