V to the 10th: THE CURRENT KATRINA WARRIORS MISSION
V To The 10th will take place during the weekend of April 12, 2008 at the New Orleans Arena and other sites around the Greater New Orleans area to celebrate ten years of V-Day and to launch the next ten years. The Saturday evening event will feature multilingual performances of “The Vagina Monologues”; a celebration of the victories of women from around the globe (Kenya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sierra Leone, Congo, Pakistan, Iceland, Bosnia, etc.); video testimonials from young activists; up to date reports from women on the ground in areas of conflict; inspiration from world leaders. Throughout the weekend, thousands of women and men will rally together and take the movement to the next level, expanding the V-Day model of empowerment for women and girls everywhere. The event will cut across movements gathering peace, environmental/ sustainability, racial justice, and sexual violence activists at one event. A highlight of the weekend: Led by Nobel prize winner Wangari Maathai, attendees will plant a million trees. The event will showcase the work of the women of New Orleans - Katrina Warriors – reflecting to a global audience the knowledge, experiences, and needs of women and girls of New Orleans.
Katrina Warriors are a breed of Vagina Warrior. To learn more, read Eve Ensler’s essay, “Vagina Warriors: An Emerging Paradigm, An Emerging Species” -- http://www.vday.org/contents/vaction/signupforvmail/vmailbackissues/0310301
The women and girls of New Orleans are the focus of the 2008 V-Day Worldwide Campaign. A portion of all monies raised by V-Day activities around the globe in 2008 will flow into our city to help establish a women's fund to sustain and further the work of Katrina Warriors. For more information about the V-Day organization, you may visit vday.org.
The concept for the Katrina Warriors Network was born during Spring 2006 as service providers, first-responders, artists, educators, and activists came together in conversations with Eve Ensler and V-Day about the daily challenges faced by women and girls returning to New Orleans to rebuild our lives. On May 21, 2006, the first Katrina Warriors ingathering took place, featuring interviews by Eve Ensler with Charmaine Neville, State Representative Charmaine Marchand, and Dr. Ruth Berggren, and the music of Joan Ann Brown and the New Orleans Gospel Singers with Rosalie "Tambourine Lady" Washington. A copy of "Katrina Warriors Handbook No. 1" and audio of the event are available for free download at
