Fashion as a Form of Resistance (Against Trump)
Assembly Required with #StaceyAbrams

#Fashion isn’t just functional — it’s #transformative. It can be a form of #political #speech, like when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez #AOC made headlines in a white gown emblazoned with “Tax the Rich.”

It can also be a statement of #resistance, as when the #BlackPanthers adopted black berets, a uniform that came to symbolize unity and power.

Understanding the #language of fashion is key to understanding the times we live in. It’s a translator for anyone trying to navigate this moment and one of the ten steps to #reclaiming #freedom and #power as we challenge norms and assert our #identity.
