Gloria: A Life Performance |
There’s still time to purchase a ticket to see a virtual performance of
Gloria: A Life on Thursday, October 22nd at 7:00PM! NYSCADV is thrilled to be partnering with the Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Rochester’s Center Stage Theatre to bring this production to you all!
Gloria: A Life is a Women’s Centennial Event as Gloria Steinem first raised her voice five decades ago as the co-founder of Ms. Magazine and with her highly publicized undercover reporting as a Playboy Bunny. The play explores how a determined writer, championing equality for all, became the face of the Women’s Movement. Her story of her Jewish and BIPOC contemporaries is now an inspiring new play that is still relevant and more than timely.

-
Make It Monday: This work is hard, and it’s so important to #ConnectTheDots between self-care and strength—allowing time for creative expression, laughter, and joy. Schedule some time today for a self-care break with NNEDV's coloring pages and other printables by clicking here. And, if you’ve taken up any new crafts or creative projects during quarantine, they want to see! Take some time to show off your fresh loaf of sourdough, or that scarf you just finished knitting. Tell NNEDV all about it.
-
Talk About It Tuesday: Words matter. Especially in a movement committed to justice and equity. For #TalkAboutItTuesday during this #DVAM Week of Action, we want to know: how are you making sure that your vocabulary is respectful and inclusive? Maybe you’re reminding yourself to share your pronouns when you meet someone new, or maybe you’ve finally broken your habit of saying that one word you learned was hurtful.
-
Award Wednesday: Join us in celebrating all of the advocates, local programs, friends, family members, and other folks who support survivors each and every day. NNEDV needs your help to #ConnectTheDots between showing gratitude for each other, and strengthening the work to end domestic violence. Tag someone who has made a difference in your life and let them know.
-
Purple Thursday: Show off your purple with a selfie, filter, or new profile pic! Join the domestic violence movement in this annual tradition of honoring how hard we all have worked to shed light on domestic violence, reduce stigma, advocate for survivors, and work for greater safety and equity.
-
Find It Friday: When we talk about domestic violence, we talk a lot about power and control—but we know that inequality doesn’t just happen in the context of abuse. It’s so important to #ConnectTheDots between injustice on a smaller scale, and the big, structural injustices that so many people are facing in our world today. For #FindItFriday, we want to know: where do you find imbalances of power and control in your community, or in the stories and media you consume, or even in the news you watch and read? And, if you’re comfortable sharing: what are YOU doing to dismantle them and create a safer, more equitable world?
-
Share It Saturday: Time to #ConnectTheDots between what we’ve learned and practiced this week, and how we’re going to go out in the world and continue to make a difference for survivors. Share on social: what did you learn this week? What are you committed to doing today, tomorrow, and the next day to create a better world
