It's been a week of highs and lows, with all of our excitement at NFT NYC being dampened by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, which removes people's constitutional right to an abortion. We are rallying to take action as a community. Read on to see how you can contribute!

Join us in fighting for reproductive rights

We have been working with Computer Cowgirls since May to draw attention to this important cause since May. Earlier this month, we also announced a partnership with Prysm, which is a tool that facilitates group purchases of NFTs. We could not think of a better way to combine both of these efforts.

We have formed a Prysm squad of over 50 members, where we will be pooling our ETH to purchase as many NFTs from Computer Cowgirls' 10K Fuck You's collection. If you missed out on being part of the Squad, you can still contribute! Here's how:

• Donate ETH directly to the HUG Prysm Squad wallet (you will have no voting rights, but your contribution will still help): 0x58392053F43d828c055fF01915Fa7486b75d90f7

• Mint your own Fuck You from https://www.10kfuckyous.com

• Donate fiat to your local abortion fund here.

Here's sending a big HUG to everyone taking a strong stance on this issue.

ICYMI a little something called NFT.NYC happened this week! It was three amazing days of hugs, friendship and celebration of breaking glass ceilings in Web3, so let's check out some of the highlights:

• We also had a number of meaningful conversations with panels at the We Are Web3 summit organized by Meta Angels, and at MoveMint organized by Mavion.

• Boss Beauties threw a party to remember featuring an iconic performance by Kesha at a spectacular venue.

• WoW Pixies had a beautiful picnic in Central Park with the cutest changemakers ever, Honey Badges.

• The fashionistas at Eyes of Fashion had the best views in NYC while the talented @TaliaZoref celebrated her art on display in Time Square.

• Our very own Stardust Generation celebrated the reveal of their NFT collection live in NY!
