AMAZING ACTIVITIES FOR V-DAY

{ Friday, April 11 } { Saturday, April 12 }

Katrina exposed what was going on in New Orleans and the Gulf South: the lack of resources, the lack of care for its poor in general and its women in particular. There are so many reasons to have V to the 10th in New Orleans, from the vanishing wetlands to the man-made levee failures that flooded the city to the abandonment and complete neglect of human beings. Violence against women was committed physically, economically and environmentally. We need to celebrate New Orleans, cherish it, protect it, just as we do our vaginas, and make sure it goes on and on. We are showing up for the Katrina Warriors, the women of New Orleans and Gulf South who have kept their communities alive with devotion, hard work, sacrifice, humor and wit.

Join us for two days of revolutionary conversations, slam poets, singers, performers, storytelling, astounding art, and love (free massage, support groups, yoga, massage, meditation, makeovers and more!). We will reclaim the Superdome and transform it into SUPERLOVE!

IN THE CARING SUITES

One of the reasons of doing SUPERLOVE is to give to the women of New Orleans a moment of relief, love, and much-needed nurturing for all they have carried since the flood. Volunteers from across the country will be coming to New Orleans to donate two days of free yoga, massage, healing circles, medical testing, referrals and medical information, and voter registration.
ACTIVIST GATHERINGS

V-Day activists from around the world will gather in the Activist Suite, where people will share information, strategize and meet, sometimes for the very first time. We will be bringing activists from over 30 countries, including Afghanistan, Congo, Iraq, Guatemala, Philippines, Kenya, and Mexico.
