Who else is beyond inspired by the millions (!) of Gen Z'ers who took to the streets yesterday to protest our nation's ridiculous gun laws? You guys. This is the future. I'm so proud and excited by our young people, I was teary-eyed watching my Insta stories feed fill up with videos of these amazing kids. These students, these dreamers, are waking up our nation. Just like Carly Simon sings:
"We're coming to the edge Running on the water Coming through the fog Your sons and daughters"
We can't wait to see what these teens accomplish, and we have their backs every step of the way. Every "enough/ gun control now" sweater you purchase sends back $100 to Everytown. Email us (info@linguafranca.nyc) to order. Here's what else we have been up to:
"Enough/Gun Control Now"
I haven't taken this sweater off in days. Do I care that I'm starting to look (and smell) a little funky around the edges? Nope. I'm totally over the insanity of our gun laws and need everyone to know it. You on my level? Order this sweater now ("enough" on the front and "gun control now" on the back, $400) in any color and we'll give $100 donation toEverytown.
We had so much fun with our friend, photographer Pamela Hanson, shooting the Resistance Revival Chorus for #IWD. This is the first time we've done creamed colored sweaters, and they're hand-stitched with some of the chorus' favorite lyrics. Scoop one up and we'll send $100 back to the chorus and the Alliance for Quality Education.
Speaking of the RRC (Resistance Revival Chorus), good news, they've basically taken me on as their official groupie. I got to go backstage with them at Joe's Pub last week and meet Carly Simon. I handed her this sweater (with the embroidery chalk still on it), freaked the fuck out, and then composed myself in time to see her take the stage with the chorus.
...which means it's a good time for you to stock up on some of our classics. You can always custom order by emailing us, but here are some greatest hits that you can buy and get asap:
I'm not sure how (probably because we did triple the amount after last year's rush), but you can still snatch up the $125 super soft Stateside sweatshirts from the Whitney's online shop or in-store at the Museum. They make the perfect gift for a friend - or for yourself!
Finally, Kristen Bell we ADORE you! Thank you for getting this sweater and spreading the word on RBG's dope-ness:
