Eve Ensler
Eve Ensler is an American playwright, performer, feminist, and activist, best known for her play The Vagina Monologues. Ensler’s experience performing The Vagina Monologues "inspired her to create V-Day, a global activist movement to stop violence against women and girls."[1]
Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights
Eve Ensler was a signatory on a May 2022 statement issued by Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, a Revolutionary Communist Party front group.[2] The statement called for "abortion on demand and without apology" and was issued in the wake of a leak of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which forced states to accommodate the killing of unborn children.
Seminar for Women in Afghanistan
In 2003, Eleanor LeCain designed and led a leadership seminar for 70 women leaders in Afghanistan, a project sponsored by Eve Ensler and the V-Day campaign to end violence against women.[3]
Not In Our Name
In August 2004 Eve Ensler endorsed an anti “Bush Team” Protest at the Republican National Convention in New York, organized by Not In Our Name, an organization closely associated with the Revolutionary Communist Party[4].
Trip to Cuba
Eve Ensler performed The Vagina Monologues in Havana, where she met "Mariela Castro, who announced the participation and support from Cuba to the global campaign One Billion Rising against violence against women and girls". One Billion Rising is a project of V-Day.[5]
