Barbed Wire Lapel Pin – Bronze

Barbed Wire Lapel Pin – Bronze

$110.00

I became an artist because of the deep injustices in the systems of the world towards those who are deemed “other.”  In fact my first mezuzot were a testament to the suffering of my grandparents during the Holocaust.  Before the incident with George Floyd, but in the recent rise of racist and anti-Semitic attacks in the U.S. my father and I got to talking about making a piece of art for the cause.   50% net proceeds will benefit The Voter Participation Center.

Since then, the organization has helped more than 4.6 million people register and cast ballots.
