After Olivia Juliana becomes the target of congressman Matt Gates’ insults, the activist decides to impeach him by raising money for pro-abortion organizations. Within 72 hours, the price of the counter has already reached more than one million dollars.
This was reported by various American media. Gates, a congressman from Florida, is known as a staunch opponent of abortion. After the Supreme Court paved the way for abortion bans in many states, he regularly confronted pro-abortion activists.
For example, he claimed last weekend that women who struggle to have an abortion are overweight, “look awful” and “have a lower chance of getting pregnant.” And the American media addressed these statements, saying that they would “provoke the ire” of activists. Then Gates posted on Twitter a picture of someone who actually responded to his comments: Olivia Juliana.
She saw his comments as a vulgar form of body shaming. The 19-year-old also reacted with sarcasm at Undisputed reputation Gates, accused of making it sexual advances for the palace. But she also decided to immediately start a collection campaign for “Gen-Z for change”. By Thursday, the counter was already at $1 million, and on Friday it was already over $1.4 million.
Juliana says in reaction that she brought in much more than she thought. She also launched the hashtag #ThanksMattGetz. Gates has not yet commented on the success of the fundraising campaign.
“Creator. Award-winning problem solver. Music evangelist. Incurable introvert.”
