Partnerships

Various offshoot independent projects from the Nasty Women Movement have raised funds for the organization Planned Parenthood. The fundraising is in direct response to President Donald Trump's conservative pro-life agenda to cut federal funding to Planned Parenthood due to their abortion services. [1]

The Nasty Women Project is a book compiling a collection of empowering stories from "Nasty Women" around the nation "to fight the threat of misogyny and oppression overtaking our nation" with 100% of the proceeds go directly to funding Planned Parenthood. [2] The book is "not a project to shed the limelight or give the glory to any one person. It is to chronicle and be a reminder of where we have been, where we will go, what we are capable of doing and what we will do, as women, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends." [3]

Sales from the viral "Nasty Woman" T-shirt created by Google Ghost and worn by Katy Perry along with many others involved in the movement have thus far raised over $130,000 for Planned Parenthood. [4] Google Ghost has since then created other products revolving around the Nasty Women Movement and continues to donate 50% of all their merchandise sales to Planned Parenthood. Some of their new merchandise includes a "Year of the Nasty Woman" planner, also known as the "Fuck Trump Action Planner," that features inspiring quotes from other female leaders along with ideas of various ways to take action during Trump's presidency. [5] Other independent designers have also created merchandise with portions of the proceeds going to Planned Planned Parenthood. [6]

Another large contributor is the global art movement-Nasty Women, which has held various art exhibits around the nation featuring artists from around the world with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Planned Parenthood.[7] One of the projects creators, Roxanne Jackson explained that the exhibits have an open submission process that accepts "all submitted artwork for this show, regardless of content, as we are focusing on the solidarity of women coming together to object the Trump regime, rather than curating a more typical exhibition."[8] The other co-director of the movement Jessamyn Fiore sees the art exhibit as a demonstration of "the power of our collective strength and determination and creativity and compassion. We will not tolerate any move backwards in time in terms of the policies that affect my body, my health, my quality of life, my freedom." [7] The creators asked artists to price their pieces at $100 or less so anyone can afford them. Fiore explained, "I want audience members who have never bought a work of art before to come to the exhibition and be moved by the experience and fall in love with a piece and think “$30, yeah I can afford that, and I’m helping Planned Parenthood!" [8] Thus far, the Nasty Women exhibitions have raised over $180,000 for Planned Parenthood. [9]

Pop Culture

Nasty Women Project Book

The Nasty Women Project: Voices from the resistance is a book published with the intention of sharing the stories of American women that were effected emotionally or in other ways by the 2016 election that resulted in Donald Trump getting the nomination.[10] The book is a collection of works written by various American women that identify as "nasty women"[10].

T-Shirts and Apparel

The concept of Nasty Women was almost instantly materialized and put onto apparel to be sold, the money used to fund Planned Parenthood[11]. As of December 2016, the t-shirts had already raised upwards of $100,000 for Planned Parenthood.[11] The t-shirts gained a lot of popularity seemingly overnight, with celebrities such as Will Ferrell, Katy Perry, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus all wearing them publicly and posting their support on social media outlets.[12]

Media Support

The media has supplied support to the nasty women project with the types of articles written about the subject. Buzzfeed has written several articles about the Nasty Women Project, giving the topic more air in the social media sense.[13] Various media outlets such as NPR, Huffington Post, The Guardian, and many more, all covered aspects of Nasty Women.[14] Saturday Night Live also preformed a skit featuring Nasty Woman and Bad Hombres.[15]

Nasty Woman Hashtag

The Nasty Woman hashtag became popular on social media outlets almost immediately after Donald Trump made the offhanded comment of Hilary Clinton being "such a nasty woman".[16] The hashtag is largely responsible for the immense amount of support and coverage that the movement has gotten.
