Survivor

Indianapolis, IN

I moved on

I'm a longtime activist in the Indianapolis area, founder of the Tenderness Tour and will be traveling across the state of Indiana in October 2009 for the 20th and final time to raise awareness/funds on behalf of survivors.

This Tour itinerary is:

The 2009 Tenderness Tour will include stops in:

October 7th (PM): Film in Terre Haute

October 8th: Tour leaves from Terre Haute to Brazil
with a film in Brazil tonight.

October 9th: Tour leaves Brazil for Greencastle with a film in Greencastle tonight.

October 10th: Tour leaves Greencastle for Danville with a film in Danville.

October 11th: Tour leaves Danville for Avon with a film in Avon.

October 12th: Tour leaves Avon for Indy with a film (and more!) in Indy at the Earth House in downtown Indy.

October 13th: Tour leaves Indy for Greenfield with a film in Greenfield.

October 14th: Tour leaves Greenfield for Knightstown with a film in Knightstown.

October 15th: Tour leaves Knightstown for Cambridge City (stop in Centerville) with a film in Cambridge City.

October 16th: Tour leaves Cambridge City for Richmond, film and closing celebration in Richmond. I attend school at Bethany Theological Seminary in Richmond.

October 17th: FINAL closing celebration in Indy. Location TBA. Film Festival Awards TBA.

I hope to find "hosts" in each city along with community volunteers/liaisons, roadies, support team and, perhaps, medical support.

This year also brings the birth of the Young Peacemakers Film Festival. This year's debut will be quite unusual in that it will be a touring film festival with a different film in each city I visit along with two selected short films. Watch for details, the film festival will kick off in Terre Haute on October 7, 2009.
