Dissent Pins

Stand With Ukraine
We believe that the most effective work being done right now supporting Ukrainians is being led by Ukrainians. Donations from the sales of our Stand With Ukraine Collection are directed to the organizations listed here. We encourage you to make direct donations to these organizations as well.

We hired Ukrainian illustrators and designers for this collection – you can find and follow each artist by looking in the product description.

About
Here's the story behind Dissent Pins: In the week following the 2016 election, I heard one story that inspired me. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has a special collar she wears on days when she dissents from decisions being handed down by the Supreme Court. (She also has a collar she wears when she's reading majority opinions.)

Justice Ginsburg wore her “dissent collar” on November 9, 2016, a day when no opinions were read.

I decided to make replicas of RBG's collar as a holiday gift, and contacted one of my favorite illustrators, Caitlin Kuhwald, who produced the illustration that was turned into 100 hard enamel pins. As I gave them out, I got more and more requests for them.

Then, on January 28th, I watched videos and photos of lawyers lining up in airports to offer assistance to people coming into the US. My first thought was: these are lawyers that should never want for resources. So I asked Caitlin to help me make a package for the Dissent Collar pins, and we opened this store.

50% of the profits from every Dissent Pins product will go to organizations doing important work right now: the work of defending our democracy.
