There are links to many different trustworthy organizations for users to explore, donate to, and volunteer with.  


Emerson's Brief:

ACT-cessories is an accessories line based around and in support of reproductive rights. The goal of this company is to bring awareness to reproductive justice and to help people become better informed individuals. ACT-cessories is a line of earrings, bags, bracelets, and necklaces. Along with these products, the company also has an immense website that can be used as an online shop, as well as an educational forum. The website has links and information about many different organizations that support reproductive justice and bodily autonomy. 


After Roe V. Wade was overturned in 2022, it left many people feeling upset. The company was created out of a passion for bodily autonomy that was sparked from the Supreme Court decision. The target audience is teenagers and young adults of any gender. An important piece of ACT-cessories is the commitment to equality. Reproductive rights affect all genders and people with uteruses; it is not only a women's fight. The products also range in subtly so that people in every situation can support this cause. Whether the products boldly state the user's pro-choice beliefs or simply have colors that correspond with the cause, anyone is able and welcomed to wear the products. The goal is for the products to spark conversations, create awareness, and help further the fight for reproductive justice.
