"How We Do Freedom": V (Eve Ensler) on Fighting Fascism Through Community

We speak with V, the playwright formerly known as Eve Ensler, about How We Do Freedom: Rising Against Fascism," a daylong educational event to be held at New York City's Judson Memorial Church on Saturday. V is the founder of the global activist movements V-Day and One Billion Rising that is organizing the event. The rise of fascism, from India to Italy, from Afghanistan to U.S., [is] the most pressing concern everywhere," says V, who ties the crisis to growing loneliness and isolation. One of the antidotes to fascism we know is community, is solidarity, is coming together, is talking, is being part of something that is bigger than yourself."
