Valentine's Day is over...

...but the V-Day season is just beginning. V-Day is a movement that raises awareness and money for grassroots groups across the globe that work to end violence against women and girls in their communities. This year marks V-Day's tenth anniversary, V to the Tenth.

The V to the Tenth season culminates with a star-studded anniversary celebration in New Orleans:

Join Salma Hayek, Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Hudson, Glenn Close, Julia Stiles, Ali Larter, Sally Field, Marisa Tomei, Calpernia Addams, Rosario Dawson, Kerry Washington, and musicians Common, Eve, and Charmaine Neville on Friday and Saturday, April 11 – 12, 2008 for V-Day’s mega two-day anniversary celebration in New Orleans at the New Orleans Arena and Louisiana Superdome - V TO THE TENTH.

The V-Day movement started with Eve Ensler's play, The Vagina Monologues. A play that inspires not only discussion but activism to create a safer world: this is art at its best. However, the play alone would not have been enough. V-Day creator Eve Ensler really deserves a Big Damn Follow Through Award.
