Million women rise fundraiser
Last month, I was to participate in a fundraiser for ‘Million Women Rise‘, a campaign to end male violence against women. I have been interested and involved with gender stuff for years, and it was great to be able to participate in the event.
The subject matter is quite heavy, so I decided I wanted to go with a positive, empowering little demo that people could do. What better than making pots to sow seeds in, made out of old newspapers. The fundraiser took place in a pub up in Newington Green, and it was great to look around and see lots of people making little pots, and after a quick session feeling like they had mastered this and could do it themselves. One of the barriers to growing removed. Also enjoyed hanging out with some kids beforehand and making masks, alien antenna and those sorts of fun and games.
