After responding to comments made by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz about pro-choice activists, a Texas teenager is trending on social media—and raising significant funds for abortion rights groups. As of this report, 19-year-old Olivia Julianna has raised more than $275,000 for abortion access funds.
The teen who organizes for Gen Z for Change, a digital organizing nonprofit that leverages social media “to promote civil discourse and political action” among America’s youngest voters, is crediting Gaetz for bringing attention to her platform—by insulting her appearance.
“I would like Matt Gaetz to know he picked the wrong activist” to start a fight with, Olivia Julianna said, according to The Washington Post.
