Soon after the Supreme Court\u2019s leaked initial draft majority opinion to overturn precedents of Roe v. Wade came out on May 2, NFT artist Molly Dickson decided to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She created a 10,000-piece NFT collection to raise funds to support abortion rights groups across the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
COWGIRLDAO, a charitable arm of Computer COWGIRLs, which Dickson established, partnered with blockchain-based non-profit organization Endaoment to donate a total of $3 million of NFT sales when they\u2019ll have been fully minted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs an artist being in the space, I was surprised how neutral Web3 is. I think even in the last few days, we\u2019re really starting to see a lot more support,\u201d Dickson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we\u2019re seeing like less neutrality [in Web3] in the last few days, which I think it\u2019s great because there\u2019s so much potential for Web3 to be an additional level of fundraising beyond what we have already,\u201d she added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) has about 200 voting members who are Bad Habits Pack collectors, according to Dickson. Each member can vote to decide which organization will receive funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The prices of the collection range between 0.03 ETH and 0.9 ETH, and 100% of the proceeds from this series are received by Endaoment, which will be allocated to organizations supporting reproductive rights, while 1.5% is kept by Endaoment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Computer COWGIRLs: From local to national push<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dickson first launched her genesis collection Computer COWGIRLs in response to the restrictive Texas abortion ban in February. The proceeds from the first collection, which totaled nearly $30,000, were donated to Fund Texas Choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following the Supreme Court\u2019s leaked draft, the Texas-native and COWGIRLDAO started amid a national push as she launched the second collection, titled \u201cFUCK YOU.\u201d The first donation of over $27,000 was sent to the Roe Fund in Oklahoma before the Supreme Court published its decision on June 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOklahoma had passed the most restrictive abortion ban at that time so we kind of went all in for Oklahoma especially because we anticipated being able to raise money in chunks like that instead of spreading it out,\u201d Dickson said, noting that COWGIRLDAO has pivoted its strategy along alongside the evolving legal landscape. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" July 4, 2022 By Murtuza Merchant Soon after the Supreme Court\u2019s leaked initial draft majority opinion to overturn precedents of Roe v.
