Selena Gomez Just Sent an Important Message to White Nationalists Using Her Outfit

Is it just me, or did Selena just throw some sly shade at the alt-right? Recently while out and about in L.A., she was spotted wearing a necklace with the message, “We the People.” 


The necklace was created by activism-through-fashion brand, The Slow Factory, in collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the largest opponents of Trump and his policies. As part of the collab, 10 percent of every necklace purchased goes directly to the ACLU, which funds their efforts to have Confederate statues removed from public areas, among other initiatives. 

Although Selena isn’t the most outspoken when it comes to her political stance, this small show of solidarity could go a long way with the kind of platform she has. In fact, this isn’t the first time she’s shown her support through style. This past February, she was seen sporting a “God Bless Nasty Women” jean jacket at the Grammy after party.

God bless you, Selena.
