At New York Fashion Week, supporting Planned Parenthood will be in style
Planned Parenthood is going to New York Fashion Week.
The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) announced Monday that it will hand out pins in support of Planned Parenthood during Fashion Week, which starts Thursday.
The pink pins, which read "Fashion Stands With Planned Parenthood," are part of a campaign to raise awareness about the health care and reproductive services the women's health organization provides for low-income women and families.
Designed by the Condé Nast Creative Group, the pins are being distributed as Donald Trump continues to threaten to defund the health care provider.
The CFDA is hoping designers will wear the pin down the runway, put them on models and give them to front-row guests -- basically, show them off anywhere with high visibility.
