We liberals are often called “delicate snowflakes,” but there isn’t
anything delicate about protesting. We face riotous crowds, tear gas,
police presence, and many hours on our feet in all weather conditions.
When you are passionate about a mission and a message, delicate does not factor into it. So, I designed these wristers as a statement piece.
Sure, they can be worn just to be cute or pretty, but the message is there to those who understand it.
