Overview
We are a collection of 1973 purity ring NFTs to mark Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that established the constitutional protection for abortions.
We’re putting a twist on purity rings. Instead of representing a vow to chastity, ours are a pledge to protect what is truly sacred: a woman’s right to choose. Our purity rings are a vow to love, empathy and freedom of choice. They band us together in a fight for reproductive rights.
We believe in the right of every woman to manage her fertility, access safe abortions, while preserving her privacy. Proceeds from our NFT sale will fund initiatives that fight for these rights through providing safe reproductive services, educational programs, training, organizing, legal action, and public policy.
Take your vow to Protect Ur Reproductive Equity, and show your support of Women Terminating Freely. Mint a ring to make a stand.
Where will the funds go?
All proceeds will go towards LegalAbortion.eth and ChoiceDAO in a 50-50 split.
We decided to partner with mission-aligned projects in the web3 space to unify and push forward our activist community as a whole. In doing so, our contributors also have greater flexibility in how they can get involved. Whether you prefer to make a financial contribution to a collection of organizations tackling the crisis from multiple angles through LegalAbortion.eth, or participate in governance of an activist community through ChoiceDAO, Purity Ring provides a gateway to both.
Funds to ChoiceDAO will be allocated to initiatives based on governance proposals within the DAO. Contributors who supported through the Purity Ring collection will be able to claim their governance tokens and actively participate in the ChoiceDAO community.
Funds to LegalAbortion.eth will be split evenly between Planned Parenthood, NARAL Pro-Choice America, URGE, Fund Texas Choice, Sister Song Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, Fos Feminista, and Center for Reproductive Rights. Their missions and use of proceeds are summarized below.
