MelbourneOne Billion Rising Melbourne
Raised of $5,000 USD
On Feburary 14, 2013 - we invite Melbournians in their thousands to gather at Federation Sqaure and dance their protest! We will be entertained by the finest DJ's, musicians and poets that Melbourne has to offer.
It is an opportunity to join the global movement spearheaded by Eve Ensler, the author of the Vagina Monologues and creator of V-Day: a day to say no to violence against women. http://onebillionrising.org/
In order to put this fabulous event on at Federation Square, we need to raise $20,000.
While Federation Square are being wonderful and donating the cost of the venue, the $20,000 pays for the infrastructure that is required to have the event run smoothly and safely: security, cleaning services and general
crowd management.
We need to establish whether this event is financially viable by the end of December 2012.
Whilst we are seeking support from the Not-For-Profit and Corporate sectors - we are also relying on the goodwill and support of the wider community.
Your contributions will bring us closer to the vision of Melbourne rising up and dancing our protest - defending the rights of women to feel safe.
In the event that we are unable to raise the full amount of money - an alternative, low cost, event will happen, - expect to see people take to the streets!
The tipping point of $5000 will enable us to put on a smaller scale event - one that strikes the balance between public protest and lower infrastructure costs. The $5000 will contribute to sound system
hire, safety measures, promotion and insurance.
Obviously we are dreaming big! Federation Square have booked us in for the day - all that stands between us and Melbourne's biggest ever dance protest is $20,000!
Thank you for your generosity and commitment to realising the dream of rising up against violence towards women - Melbourne - we can make a difference!
