V-DAY IN ACTION COLLEGE & COMMUNITY CAMPAIGNS The heart and soul of V-Day – its college and community activists – ushered in V-Day’s 15th season with great enthusiasm. Through over 5,400 V-Day events in over 2,280 locations, V-Day activists in all 50 United States, Puerto Rico and 67 countries brought The Vagina Monologues, A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer, Any One Of Us: Words From Prison, and screenings of V-Day’s documentaries Until The Violence Stops and What I Want My Words To Do To You into their communities. V-Day benefits raised $2.3 million for local anti-violence groups, including over $203,000 for V-Day’s Spotlight Campaign, which for this year supported One Billion Rising. This was V-Day’s most geographically diverse year to date.
