Worthington isn’t lying about all of the mainstream anti-Assata nonsense that came as a reaction to news of her passing.
According to Dream Defenders, the organization sent SHEIN a cease-and-desist notice, but the only response the organization has gotten from the company is a link to a page for the artist responsible for the image to file her complaint.
The irony is also that SHEIN stole this design from a Black, anti-capitalist non-profit that stands against everything they are.
Black legacy and lived experiences have only ever been “respected” when it’s to turn a profit, for the white gaze and mass consumption.
Dream Defenders, which is prepared to take legal action, has requested that the company cease and desist—remove the design from its social networks and the t-shirt item from its online store.
