Oct 2015

I was marginally involved with 1 Billion Rising a couple of years ago, the big event was on Valentine's Day. Many were there for the lead up and prep but vanished on the actual day of the flash mob. Others were focused on their dates and V day plans, they didn't stop to see what we were about. It didn't go well, at least not here. I figured it was due to the holiday, but then, it was specifically on the 14th.

Timing events like these in the fall and winter are always going to be complicated.
