Donald Trump has been called many things during his gradual rise to political power: businessman, television personality, and now president-elect. But one teen is reminding people exactly who they voted for in this year’s election. Despite saying some spectacularly awful things about women in the past – including comparing women to dogs and seemingly advocating…
“My Body, My Choice” echoed throughout the November 12 “Not My President” march in New York City, among other chants denouncing the president elect. There are few demographics in the United States whose rights are not in jeopardy following Donald Trump’s presidential victory but women especially have a lot to fear. While many hoped that the…
I couldn’t wait for the 2016 election to be over. As candidates were announced, campaigns were initiated, and debates were held, the election quickly devolved from a spectacle to a full-on circus. It became clear that issues that should have been front and center, like socioeconomic apartheid, state violence, and voter suppression, fell by the wayside. Instead,…
On November 9th 2016, a day of serious reflection was followed by a night of unified action.

At approximately 3am this morning a nation in disbelief watched Donald Trump’s first speech as president-elect of The United States. Many were questioning, “Is this the beginning of the end of a country that once championed equality and women’s rights?” A resounding number of people are feeling a heavy weight of anxiety and sadness as well as a newfound sense of…
On October 19th, at the third and final presidential debate, Donald Trump out-Trumped himself with his most inane insult yet. As democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, answered a question about social security, Trump interrupted her with the random statement, “Such a nasty woman.” While Trump’s comment was meant to put Clinton in a negative light, it…
This year on November 8th, it’s not about what you wear, it’s about where you are – which is hopefully at your local ballot box. At least that seems to be the message of Funny Or Die and Rock The Vote’s latest video, Katy Perry Votes Naked. The parody clip features the “Rise” singer looking disheveled as…
In 2015, Democratic Representative of New York Carolyn Maloney reintroduced the Equal Rights Amendment to Congress. An amendment that had seen this floor, and championed before. One that came up three states short of ratification decades ago, mainly due to one very conservative lady. The cause is dead. I don’t mean feminism of course, I…
Move over Pablo, here comes Hillary! When it comes to the upcoming election, all bets are off, but one thing is for sure – the former Secretary of State is definitely winning the merch game. New York Fashion Week SS17 kicks off today with high profile shows from Yeezy, Vfiles, and Tom Ford, but the unofficial opening event happened last…
On July 17th, outside the Republican National Convention ( RNC) in Cleveland, Ohio there was more than just your usual protesting going on. This time it included 100 naked women having a photo shoot the day before the convention began. Photographer Spencer Tunick recruited 100 women out of the 1800 that applied to be featured…
Melania Trump’s speech at last night’s Republican National Convention was supposed to be a glowing introduction to a potential first lady. While her words made quite the impression, it wasn’t the one that her husband’s campaign had hoped for. At first, Trump was applauded for her confident delivery and inspiring words, but it didn’t take long…
