5 alternatives to 'woke' companies
4. Culture of Life 1972
In a 2021 appearance on pro-life activist Abby Johnson’s “Politely Rude” podcast on edifi, fashion designer Carla D’Addesi shared how her discovery of “over 70 brands that gave back to a culture of death” — referring to abortion — motivated her to start her own clothing company. She decided to call her company Culture of Life 1972, or COL 1972 for short.
As explained on the clothing company’s website, “Purchases give back to a Philadelphia-based women’s and children’s crisis center as well as life-affirming causes.” The company name of Culture of Life 1972 reflects that 1972 was the final year before the United States Supreme Court declared a constitutional right to abortion in the Roe v. Wade decision.
While the U.S. Supreme Court has since overturned Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which has enabled states to embrace a culture of life by passing abortion bans, Culture of Life 1972 continues to sell a wide variety of apparel. Clothing available for purchase on the Culture of Life 1972 website includes dresses, rompers, jumpsuits, sets, skirts, pants, tops, sweaters, T-shirts, sweatshirts, denim, coats, jackets and loungewear.
