On Wednesday, we told you about the anti-abortion groups who are suddenly getting loads of sparkly letters from a group calling themselves “Glitter Bombs for Choice.” Today, we received GBFC’s manifesto, from someone who we believe may not be using their real name. That’s my theory, anyway, because the person told us their name is “Geeves Bananahammock.”
The Glitter Bombers have been sending sparkle-filled letters to numerous anti-abortion groups and politicians. They don’t appear to be sending glitter to anti-gay groups or pols, although Texas state officials are deeply concerned that might start happening. Here’s the motivation for their glitter anarchy, from their manifesto:
We have one simple goal: to increase awareness of the fight for these rights to reproductive health care through the annoying tactic of mailing glitter to our opponents. We are fully aware that this tactic won’t change minds, but it will change vacuuming schedules.
If “sidewalk counselors” can hide behind the 1st Amendment in order to annoy and intimidate patients and providers, it is our 1st Amendment right to share a little glitter to highlight the opposition’s disgusting activities.
Geeves got in touch via a random email address, and quickly began spilling the beans about the inner workings of the group.
