Sophia Bush collaborates with fashion brand Joe Fresh for a great cause
Sophia Bush who's known for her role as Detective Erin Lindsay in the NBC drama series Chicago P.D has partnered up with fashion brand Joe Fresh to design a t-shirt- for a good cause.
On Thursday, the former One Tree Hill babe took to her Instagram to announce the big news. "There are few things I believe in more than #equality, so I am thrilled to reveal my T-shirt collab with @JoeFresh. 100% of the proceeds go to @HumanRightsCampaign. Wear your pride, love your love, and tag your photos with #TurnColorOn."
Previously, Bush had shared her thoughts on the topic in advance of an exciting new collaboration with Joe Fresh. "I have a little surprise for you guys! @joefresh, the @humanrightscampaign, and I are working together to #TurnColorOn. Here's a video sneak peek. #LoveisLove."
It is no shocker that Bush is a die-hard activist. So the result? All proceeds benefit the Human Rights Campaign , a civil rights organization whose mission is to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans. InStyle.com reported that the idea of #turncoloron reminded the actress of rainbows, which made her think of HRC.
“Everyone should be able to love who they love, and sadly, we’re still fighting legislation that’s trying to marginalize equality,” the actress says. “I hate that certain people are treated differently than others just because of who they love. In this world that’s full of such strife and war and poverty, where we see people struggling, what is the point of wasting a moment criticizing who somebody loves?”
“We wanted to do more than just encourage people to shop; it was a nice way to shift the conversation and have it not just be about clothes, but about who’s wearing them,” Bush continues. “There are ways to make the world a better place, whether that’s in small increments or in massive sweeps of change. We have to focus on the micro and the macro, figure out ways we can affect it all, and I feel that’s what we’re doing with our T-shirt," she explained to Instyle.com
