GODDESS 2000 PROJECT and INTL PAGAN PRIDE PROJECT Team Up for PPD

The Goddess 2000 Project (http://www.goddess2000.org) and the
International Pagan Pride Project (http://www.paganpride.org) are
pleased to announce that the two organizations have agreed to work together
effective July 13, 2001.

This year's Pagan Pride Project Celebrations will be joined by Goddess 2000 Project coordinators and participants. Displays of Goddess & Pagan Art or "Create a Goddess" spaces where PPD attendees can exercise their own creativity, will be added to Pagan Pride Celebrations in many local areas, as part of the G2000 Project's "A Goddess on Every Block!". initiative.

So far this year, PPD has formally set up 83 Pagan Pride events during the month of September in the US, Canada, Brazil, Italy, the Netherlands, and Australia. The participation of the Goddess 2000 Project's local coordinators and participants will also help to create and organize Pagan Pride events in areas where PPD does not currently have events. Goddess 2000 Project has local coordinators in
52 countries.

PPD Executive Director Suzanne "Cecylyna Dewr" Egbert, said "It's a logical combination. We both have local coordinators all over the globe. Working together lets us combine our resources so that neither of us reinvents the wheel. Both of our primary goals are to help the positive parts of our spirituality come out in the light where others can see them. Whether you're creating Goddess Art, or giving canned goods to a food bank, you're seeing the entire span of all that is positive about our spiritual journeys."

Goddess 2000 Project Director Abby Willowroot adds "We are very pleased to be working with PPD in sharing information and building community. It is this type of cross-tradition cooperation that is
making the Pagan Community healthy and strong." The goal of the G2000 Project is to encourage the creation of sacred imagery by artists and non-artists alike.
