An invitation to dance

All over the world today, people were dancing in an act of solidarity that the international organization One Billion Rising calls “a global strike, an invitation to dance, a call to men and women to refuse to participate in the status quo until rape and rape culture ends.”

 

In Market Square Downtown, hundreds of people of all ages and hues turned out for this pop-up event, which was organized locally by New Voices Pittsburgh, a 9-year-old human rights and reproductive justice organization whose mission is to advance the well-being of black girls and women.
