We’re excited to share that Afghan Women Speak: Stories From Inside Afghanistan, the campaign we designed for V-Day, has been nominated for the Webby Awards in the Social – Public Service & Activism category — and your vote could help us win the People’s Voice Award!
A key highlight in yesterday’s Family Services’ Report to the Community was our campaign to reduce the stigma around seeking mental health care in the Hudson Valley.
We confront stigma every day – rules about what’s okay for us to say, do, or feel. And yes, some rules are in place for the purposes of civil society, but others are there to oppress.
Partnering with V-Day means working with stories powerful enough to change the world. So when we read Sania’s vivid story of witness, about the closing of schools and crushing of dreams, we felt an urgency to extract the visual qualities of her story for as many people to experience as possible.
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is releasing the first of five short films on civil rights. Titled “Black Americans, Civil Rights, and the Roosevelts, 1932-1962,” the series is based on interviews with experts and explores the Roosevelts’ impact on civil rights for Black Americans during this period.

Today, 25 May, is V’s (formerly Eve Ensler) 70th birthday!
When we first met V in 2004, we experienced a combination of art and activism that led us to revise how we see the world and our work.
What we love about working with nonprofits is the education gained. Last week we had a mind enhancing history lesson when we attended the sold out Weeksville Heritage Center Spring Benefit.
Take a minute to watch this short and powerful program about civil rights pioneer and opera singer Marian Anderson. In this program we are lucky to have original video and audio from her performances through the of archival resource, Sherman Grinberg Film Library.
It is a V-Day Anniversary year and we’ve been designing logos, swag, social media graphics and most important it is kicking off next week with an event for the launch of V’s new book, Reckoning.
