We don’t need to act like soldiers (or dress like them) to protest and stand up for our rights.
Today, more than ever, it’s time for UNITY. Inspired by the Stonewall Inn Riot, 50 years ago, Private Policy Spring 2020 collection is a call for Comm-unity, so we can overcome these challenges and prevail with courage together.
On June 29th, 1969, Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, drag performers and pioneering transgender activists, were part of the crowd targeted by a police raid at the Stonewall Inn. With nowhere to go, they decided to turn and fight back. It was the instinct of survival and bravery. Their defiant spirit inspired their peers then and continues to resonate within us today.
Private Policy inspiration serves as a reminder for all today that the oppressed need to unify and stand up against the inequalities, even if it is the authority. UNITY is about consciousness and progression, through discussion and debate with the opponent. Instead of being afraid of confronting the powerful, we should be inspired by the Stonewall Riot, uniting to fight back. The collection aims to liberate and empower, to go out there and protest with the mind and with a positive impact, combining militant and activist friendly design details.
