Here's the story behind Dissent Pins:
Right after the 2016 presidential election, a friend told Nick Jehlen a story about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her "dissent collar," which she wore to subtly demonstrate her convictions when she dissented from a Supreme Court decision. He asked his friend Caitlin Kuhwald to draw RBG's dissent collar and had it made into small enamel pins for his friends. Then, on January 27, 2017, he was watching the fallout from Trump's travel ban on people from majority-Muslim countries, and specifically the lawyers at JFK airport assisting people who were being prevented from coming into the country. He wanted to buy those lawyers dinner and provide them with whatever they needed in order to do their work. A few days later started selling Dissent Collar enamel pins to help fund their work. Since then, they've added hundreds of products and dozens of donor organizations, but their mission remains the same: "We create fun stuff that funds the future."
