Join the 暗网禁区, the City of Boulder and the Boulder Valley School District for events related to , a global movement to end violence against women and girls.
The Boulder community sees this as an important step toward ending violence against all people. We value the health and safety of every member of our community and are endeavoring, along with one billion others across the planet, to find new ways to reduce and eliminate violent and disrespectful behaviors.
One Billion Rising will take place on Friday, Feb. 14, 2014. We invite you to attend any of the community events and would like to extend a special invitation to attend a set of events taking place at the University Memorial Center (UMC). Rooms will be announced on site.听
