Rachelle Hruska, creadora de los suéteres de cachemira de Lingua Franca, encontró su pasión en el bordado. Comenzó a bordar frases de hip-hop o mensajes como “forever ever”, esto cambió después de que Donald Trump ganara las elecciones, para dar lugar a frases como “We are all inmigrants”.
Hruska cuenta con más de 45 mujeres inmigrantes que bordan a mano frases como “Fake President” en los suéteres. La marca ha sido usada por celebridades como Leonardo DiCaprio y Christy Turlington. Las prendas están disponibles enviando un correo a info@linguafranca.nyc, y la mitad de las ganancias van directamente a organizaciones como American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Asociación Nacional para el Avance de la Gente de Color (NAACP), Consejo de Relaciones Americano-Islámicas (CAIR) y Americans for Immigrant Justice.
Graydon Carter’s latest editor letter pretty much sums it up: “We aren’t even a third of the way through the administration’s 100-day honeymoon period and let’s face it: we’re plumb exhausted. We’re exhausted from the flurry of rash executive orders. Exhausted from the human carnage in the wake of the president’s ban on travelers from majority-Muslim countries. Exhausted from the battles with neighbors, allies, and strategic adversaries on the world stage. Exhausted from the lies, the alternative facts, the boasts, the conflicts, and the scandals from this “fine-tuned machine.” Exhausted from our president’s cavalier habit of belittling our judiciary and intelligence services. Exhausted from having craven boneheads chosen to lead departments governing the environment, the Treasury, education, and the interior. Exhausted from an administration that turns a blind eye to Russian intrusions into Crimea, our election, and the imminent elections in Europe. Exhausted from the West Wing circus of misfits, clowns, and ghouls—politics’ answer to the Kardashians. Exhausted from the preening arrogance of the members of the First Family. Exhausted from waking up and not knowing what fresh hell this new president and his birdcage of a mind have cooked up overnight.” Una publicación compartida de Lingua Franca (@linguafrancanyc) el 21 de Feb de 2017 a la(s) 9:31 PST
