National Network of Abortion Funds: Online Fundraiser
2022
After seeing the infamously horrific tweet from Florida State Senator Matt Gaetz regarding abortion rights activists who protested in light of the reversal of Roe vs. Wade, I created a Bonfire campaign designed to be gender-neutral and activate the millennials Gaetz called out in his statement. The digital campaign was designed to raise all proceeds for the National Network of Abortion Funds.
In response, Matt Gaetz shared my full name and face on his Twitter account in an attempt to silence the campaign.
I created social media content surrounding Gaetz’s actions and raised nearly $5,000 through this campaign in under 2 weeks, using only organic digital marketing.
