Rehearsing Debbie Allen's routine for Atlanta's One Billion Rising flash mob.
ATLANTA -- Atlanta is joining a worldwide movement to end violence against women and girls.
Two-thousand local men and women plan to walk out, dance and rise up in a flash mob demonstration downtown for One Billion Rising.
"When One Billion bodies rise and dance on 14 February 2013, we will join in solidarity, purpose and energy and shake the world into a new consciousness," the movement's website says. "By being a part of One Billion Rising we will all discover our solidarity and the scope of this issue. We will come to know that ending violence against women is as important as ending poverty, or AIDS or global warming. We will come to see that it is not a local issue or particular to any culture or religion or village or age. We will come to see what is possible."
Atlanta participants met Thursday morning at the Georgia Capitol steps for a press conference featuring Rev. Dr. Bernice King, legendary choreographer Debbie Allen, SPANX founder Sara Blakely, conservation activist Laura Turner Seydel, civil rights icon Evelyn Lowery, Bishop Barbara King of Hillside International Truth Center and Rev. Dr. Gerald Durley, formerly of Providence Missionary Baptist Church.
Together, they will walk over to Woodruff Park for the flash mob at noon.
