It would be great if you could join us for all 5 dances, and lots of loud marching and chanting in between. We've got the Bristol Ambling Band to accompany us through the streets, so we'll definitely be noticed! But if you can only make it to one or two, that's great too! The more the merrier!

The last dance will be a candlelit flashmob at 5.15pm in MILLENNIUM SQUARE, followed by an open mic session. Anyone who wishes to share a story, poem, song, rap or anything else can grab the mic and do so. If you can't make it on the day, and would like us to share your story for you, anonymously or otherwise, please send it to us bristolrise@gmail.com and we will read it out for you.

There will also be a car following us from each flashmob location to the next, so if you are not able to march with us and would like a lift, email us. First come first served because obviously we can only fit so many people in one car!

DRESSCODE: Wear BLACK & RED and bring your dancing shoes! Dress appropriately for the weather and the time of year (it will be getting dark while we do it, so wear layers!) If it rains, we’ll get wet!

"ONE IN THREE WOMEN ON THE PLANET WILL BE RAPED OR BEATEN IN HER LIFETIME . That is ONE BILLION WOMEN. In 2013 ONE BILLION PEOPLE shook the earth through dance to end violence against women and girls. This year, we are calling on women and men everywhere to harness their power and imagination to RISE FOR JUSTICE. JOIN US!" - www.onebillionrising.org
