Marc Jacobs and Miley Cyrus [1] are teaming up again in the name of women's rights. The designer and singer released a new sweatshirt benefiting Planned Parenthood with a simple message: "Don't f*ck with my freedom." The words on the pink sweatshirt are lyrics from Miley's empowering song "Mother's Daughter" from her recently released album, She Is Coming [2]. Beginning on June 4, the hoodie is available for presale on Marc Jacobs's site, and 100 percent of the proceeds go to Planned Parenthood.
A press release for the new collaboration [3] stated, "In the wake of states passing new bans on abortion [4], the design takes a stand to protect reproductive rights and shows solidarity with public support for abortion, currently at a record high with more than seven in 10 Americans saying they do not want to see Roe v. Wade overturned [5]."
Miley is no stranger to being vocal about causes close to her heart, including HIV/AIDS awareness, cancer research, and a woman's right to choose. In 2016, Miley and Marc Jacobs released their first collection benefiting Planned Parenthood [6] in the form of t-shirts. Miley also spoke at the 2017 Women's March in LA and proudly carried a Planned Parenthood sign.
The release of the hoodie is especially timely for Miley because she was recently grabbed aggressively by a fan who tried to kiss her as she was making her way through a crowd with her husband, Liam Hemsworth. After it happened, Miley posted a powerful message about consent [7] and "not asking for it" on her Twitter and Instagram — what better way to reiterate not f*cking with her freedom?
