DESCRIPTION:Join us and one billion people around the world on Valentine's Day as we 
 rise and dance in the name of freedom and equality for women and girls. 
  In conjunction with the One Billion Rising global events our Santa Cruz 
 event will be a free, family-friendly, participatory experience for all 
 women and girls and those who love them, to stand up against violence that 
 affects 1 in 3 women and girls around the world.  Our goal is to educate, 
 network, inspire, and activate going forward.\nThis free event will be held 
 at the Museum of Art and History in downtown Santa Cruz on February 14th, 
 2013 from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm and will be preceded at 5:00 by a candlelight 
 walk along Pacific Avenue from the Memorial Plaza to the Museum. All 
 proceeds will be donated to local participating organizations dedicated to 
 the prevention of violence against women, on an individual, communal, and 
 systematic level:  Survivors Healing Center, Walnut Avenue Women's Center, 
 Women's Crisis Support~Defensa de Mujeres and Rising 
 International.\nActivities include a candlelight walk downtown, music by 
 local groups and dancing.  The music and dancing provides an opportunity 
 to celebrate the incredible resilience of the spirit, and is inspired by 
 women turning terrible circumstances into monumental strength and 
 mobilizing for change.\nThe organizers are volunteers who care about the 
 health and well-being of all girls and women and of the planet.  
 Participants are encouraged to wear their respective ethnic costumes and 
 dance their cultural dances to represent their heritage, and to symbolize 
 women in solidarity around the world rising to end violence.\nSponsors 
 include the Pacific Cookie Company, Verve Coffee Roasters, Buttercup Cakes, 
 Vinocruz, Dirk Andrews Music, and Hutton Sherer.  Other support provided 
 by UCSC's Student Health Outreach and Promotion (SHOP), the City of Santa 
 Cruz Commission for the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Children, 
 and the Santa Cruz County Women's Commission.\nFor more information or to
