I know I geek out about this a lot, but this is one of the reasons why I believe we are living in the best time for feminists. Each and every one of us can make so much change. we have the ability… and the resources! This post discusses two of my favorite things” online activism and Planned Parenthood. Enjoy!

Great fundraiser going on in my hometown of Des Moines,  Iowa. RAYGUN is a popular t-shirt store here that features progressive, satirical designs and they are teaming up with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. They wanted to put their own “spin” on the Rush Limbaugh controversy – all while supporting their favorite women’s health care provider.


All proceeds from the sale will support Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. You can be fashionable and support the work we do!
You can buy a shirt online here - http://raygunsite.com/

The shirt says: Just another slut on birth control. Please pass it on, help PP and get some amazingly awesome shirts out there!

Thanks,

Jessica

I was actually just looking for a shirt with this kind of attitude online last night, but could not find one I liked… this one is perfect. The design looks very cute, simple, powerful, and sleek! I shall be purchasing one. :-) If anyone else has anything like this they’d like me to signal boost, drop me a line and I’ll be more than happy to pass it along as well!
