Tory's Angry Uterus

Origin Story of Tory's Angry Uterus
The Women's March on Washington left me moved. It was the first time in my life that I was so angry about the politics of our nation that I joined and participated in a demonstration -- a peaceful march, started in reaction to the highly negative presidential election and outcome.

There are many social, economic, and political stances made by our newly appointed government that leave me frustrated, but the main subject of concern, which is close to my heart and my very essence as a women, involves ensuring basic health, workplace, and human rights to be offered in perpetuity to women of all race and creed in our nation.

This is a new era. Federal budget cuts may leave nonprofit organizations at risk for losing large chunks of funding that sustain their existence. Many local nonprofit organizations have already started emergency fundraising to prepare for the next four years. Planned Parenthood is not excluded from that list. Having participated in the march, I was unsure of what to do next, who and how to help. The answer was simple - make art.



Tory's Angry Uterus was designed for the Women's March, where many other uteruses united to form a parade of stern, fleshy insubordination. You may have even spotted me in NYC, flipping the bird!



Funding Goes to PP
In this campaign, every Angry Uterus sold will go to benefit Planned Parenthood. I wish to take no portion of the proceeds. Should the entire campaign be funded, the organization will receive ALL the funding.
