Petra Collins, Hari Nef, Lena Dunham: From Gucci to Planned Parenthood Via Lenny Letter
Petra's commitment to body sovereignty was on display in this October 2012 Planned Parenthood video 'You Don't Own Me', published as a motivator to American women to vote in the 2012 presidential election.
In January 2016, Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter published 'Hypervisibility', in which Hari Nef reflects "on being a visible member of a marginalized community." A year later, Nef joined a '100 Years' Planned Parenthood tribute narration cast that includes Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, America Ferrera, Constance Wu, Mindy Kaling and many more. Kirsten Lepore handled the animation; Abrams and musician Jack Antonoff contributed music.
The film '100 Years', The History of 100 Years of Women's Health Care at Planned Parenthood, was produced by Dunham and J.J. Abrams .
“This film reminds us of the tremendous progress that’s been made for women’s health and rights just days before the new president is inaugurated — and at a moment when extreme politicians are trying to defund and shut down Planned Parenthood,” Dunham wrote in a note for Lenny Letter.

Trump's War on Press Is a Key Signal of Authoritarian Objectives in Repressive Societies
The Trump administration stepped its assault on the media today, barring news outlets including CNN, the New York Times, Politico and the Los Angeles Times from attending an off-camera press briefing held by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
The controversy came hours after President Trump again launched a full-frontal attack on the media -- the #fake media, he clarified in his Friday morning CPAC speech. The problem is that Trump is on the record calling the New York Times, CNN and countless other high-level media organization as perpetrators of #fakenews. So his clarification falls on fake ears.
The Wall Street Journal did participate in the briefing, issuing a statement that the newspaper was unaware of the exclusions. "Had we known at the time, we would not have participated, and we will not participate in such closed briefings in the future."
White House deputy communications director Raj Shah insisted this was all much ado about nothing.
Today's events follow Trump's top strategic adviser Steve Bannon's CPAC confab yesterday in which he said that the Trump White House intends to ramp up attacks on the media, insinuating that very choppy waters lie ahead.
We haven't confirmed if Lucian Wintritch, founder of Twinks4Trump -- an artist now with White House press credentials in his role as a reporter for Gateway Pundit --was in the selective gaggle. Read on for an in-depth analysis of Trump's war on the press.
