Can We Love?
On February 14th at the Hammerstein Ballroom, V-Day kicked off its 10th anniversary event that will be held in New Orleans on April 11th and 12th.

At the request of Eve Ensler, Peter Buffett sang "Can We Love?" especially "V-mixed" for the 10th anniversary.
He introduced the song by saying, "We are here because of the power of one woman's voice. But it's not just because Eve has the courage to speak for others, but because she gives others the courage to speak.
I hope that by the end of this song all the men in the room are singing along with me. If men's voices can be brought into this movement, we can begin to turn some of these monologues into dialogues.
I sing this song as the voice of a child who didn't understand the hatred in Selma that he saw on television and the voice of a man who doesn't understand the violence in the Congo that he reads about in the newspaper."
