John Kerry's old anti-war protest partner "Hanoi" Jane Fonda is coming to New York in the wake of the GOP convention as part of a get-out-the-vote rally she's calling "Vaginas Vote."
A press release issued Wednesday by Fonda and her partner, "Vagina Monologues" playwright Eve Ensler, announces:
"'V-Day's V is For Vote' and Rock the Vote's 'Chicks Rock, Chicks Vote,' in conjunction with The White House Project's 'Vote, Run, Lead' and Omega Institute, announce THE event of the election season: 'Vaginas Vote, Chicks Rock.'"

The release continues:
"On the evening of September 13th, actors, singers, dancers, thinkers and leaders will all come together at the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem for a night of entertainment and political empowerment."
While ostensibly nonpartisan, the Fonda event boasts of such anti-Bush headliners as Susan Sarandon, Gloria Steinem and Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky.
"'Vaginas Vote, Chicks Rock' takes place less than 2 months before the presidential election," the Fonda release says. "And organizers are using the power of arts and activism to motivate and inspire all women - especially young women - to raise their voices and get out the vote to end violence against women and girls."
A call to the Kerry campaign for reaction to "Hanoi" Jane's efforts on his behalf was not returned by press time.
