Press Release: Join Us for One Billion Rising in Second Life 2020!

For the seventh year, on February 14, 2020, men and women in Second Life will join activists, writers, thinkers, celebrities, and people across the world to Rise, Resist and Unite as a show of unity, individual strength, and the need for change.

1 in 3 women across the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. That’s ONE BILLION WOMEN AND GIRLS. Every February, we rise – in countries across the world – to show our local communities and the world what one billion looks like and shine a light on the rampant impunity and injustice that survivors most often face. We rise through dance to express joy and community and celebrate the fact that we have not been defeated by this violence. We rise to show we are determined to create a new kind of consciousness – one where violence will be resisted until it is unthinkable.

We call on you this year to be braver, go deeper, reflect, study, listen, learn, awaken to what you don’t know, ask the difficult questions, engage, take actions, and push yourselves out of your comfort zones physically and intellectually. We call on you to commit to resistance and solidarity.

Because Rising is no longer a campaign – it is a way of life.

RISE! RESIST! UNITE!

The Second Life event will feature a four-region stage where 200 people can come together to dance, surrounded by an area of art installations, an arena for poetry and dramatic productions, and informational exhibits. A variety of amazing live performers and DJs will play over the 24-hour period and poetry and dramatic events will be held at different times, enabling people all over the world to attend this virtual event no matter their timezone. The regions will have a General maturity rating to allow all residents an opportunity to participate. Pictures are welcome on the event’s Flickr group.

This year, One Billion Rising in Second Life is especially saluting the work and courage of female heroes from across the world. We’ll be posting more details over the coming month.

If you would like to volunteer to support the event, go here to find out how you can join in.

If you would like to report on the event as a member of the press, go here.

If you would like to create an art installation for the event, go here.

The objective of the event is to raise awareness, not to raise funds; however, information about real-world organizations will be available for those wishing to donate.

We will be announcing the sponsors for One Billion Rising shortly. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, go here. Please note, as we are not a fundraising event, we have a limited number of sponsorship spaces to cover costs of the 4 regions used for the 24 hours of music, dance, poetry, literature, art installations and shows.

Avatar Mod, Women's Nails, For Sale, Proceeds Going to Texas Hurricane Help

Often when there's a natural disaster, someone does a fundraiser of some kind in Second Life to raise a few dollars to help with the recovery effort. In the wake of Hurricane Harvey, which has brought a massive amount of flooding from a staggering amount of water being dropped onto the Texas coast, resulting in at least 47 dead as of the writing of this brief. Recovery is being described as a "multi-year project."

In Furry Fashion chat, I heard about a furry avatar mod, the "Houston Texas Mod - Toro" by "Project Mayhem." SynodaMae Sonnenkern states, "100% of the funds raised from this mod will go to the H-E-B Recovery Efforts. If you need proof or want to donate directly, click the following link. H-E-B is the largest grocery chain in Texas and has made MAJOR headway in the relief and recovery efforts for Houston, Rockport and Corpus Christi." In the link, H-E-B says "100% of donations will be distributed to the American Red Cross, area Texas Book Banks, Salvation Army, and Texas Search and Rescue/Cajun Navy."

There is one other item on the Second Life Marketplace aimed at Hurricane Harvey relief, though the cash is going to one family that "lost everything." Rowan Carroll of @rOrO is offering a set of nails, with a promise the money will go to help her friend's family.

Please Help! An SL friend and her family has lost everything in Hurricane Harvey. I can’t do much, but I can make nails. Kioko loves mermaids and often plays one in SL. In her honor, I’ve created these nails. ALL money is going to her and her family to help them get through this. Every little bit helps. Plus the nails are pretty cool too, right?

Do you the readers know of any other Second Life items for sale with the cash going to Hurricane relief, or any benefit events?
