#prochoicebutton

Today is election day. I wore my pro-choice button for 135 days in a row, and the day before America’s midterm elections it went missing. It’s been 137 days since Roe V Wade was overturned, rolling back women’s right to make the decision to bare a child. 137 days ago the American government rolled back women’s rights nearly 50 years. 137 days ago the American government deepened it’s commitment to a war against women. On that day I pulled out my “I’m PRO-CHOICE and I VOTE!” button and have worn it every single day. 135 days. Yesterday I realized it has gone missing (shocking it survived me everyday before - a small miracle actually!) I wore my pro-choice button for 135 days, and the day before America’s midterm elections it went missing. I’m taking it as a powerful sign from the universe that today AMERICANS WILL SHOW UP AT THE POLLS IN SUPPORT OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS NOT FASCISM. My little button did not send a strong message to donald trump’s supreme court. But it did start a lot of conversations. It did change how some people thought about me. It did give some people permission to stand up for what’s right, permission to speak about abortion rights, permission to expose lying politicians, permission to support honest politicians, permission to speak about abortion and women’s rights. My button helped other people who saw it, and for those who disagreed it was a reminder we are not going back. 135 days of wearing my pro-choice button was a daily reminder of the rights I have benefited from and the rights all women deserve to benefit from. It was my silent protest, my peaceful protest, my Fashion Activism. Today I’m not wearing my pro-choice button, but I am wearing green in solidarity with international Abortion Rights, inspired by Argentinian Abortion Rights Activists who first wore green bandannas in the early 2000s during their protests. Fashion activism or not - JUST VOTE. Vote today. Vote for women’s rights. Vote for PRO-CHOICE CANDIDATES. Vote against fascism. Vote because you believe women deserve to make their own decision to bare a child or not. ⚖️ ✊🏽 🗳 . . . #prochoice #voteprochoice #fashionactivism #prochoicebutton #greenbamdannas #abortionrights #vote (at Hector, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CktCqadOFSF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
