SO, today throughout the US activists are wearing jeans. Jeans when they don't normally wear jeans. And if they do normally wear jeans, (as I do) they are wearing buttons and teeshirts and stickers that read "Denim Day USA" and "It's Not Ok to Rape" because they are making a statement, activists who are speaking out with their clothing to bring attention to something that normally gets brushed under the rug and ignored.
It's Denim Day, throughout the US on April 24, 2013. |
