V-Day Annual Report 2016 - ONE BILLION RISING: RISE FOR REVOLUTION 1 | Page 15

BROADENING
THE SCOPE

Risings made connections
across movements,
addressing imperialism,
war, climate change, racism,
economic inequality, workers
rights and patriarchy.

Activists made connections
to the Black Lives Matter and
Say Her Name movements.
In Oakland, CA, Alicia Garza,
co-founder of Black Lives
Matter, was honored and
spoke about the work of
movement building. In India,
Tibetan and Indian activists
came together to rise for
climate justice.
