Bidens Daughter Just Showed Ivanka Trump How To Truly Make America Great Again [View all]

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley has started a line of 100% made in America clothing to fund sustainable change in impoverished communities. Her efforts stand in stark contrast to President Donald Trump’s fashion brand, as well as his daughter Ivanka’s line of clothing and accessories. Both Trump’s produce knockoff luxury items in foreign countries, almost certainly exploiting sweatshop and child labor. For all his talk of bringing manufacturing back to America, and his supposed dedication to championing the average American worker, Trump is more than willing to outsource jobs and exploit cheap labor in the developing world.

Ashley Biden was not inspired by a wealthy childhood and family tradition of using their name to sell mediocre products; she is a social worker in Delaware. Through her career, Ashley learned firsthand the extent to which some American communities lack resources and suffer because of it. She has come up with a plan to make change by empowering community leaders to make sustainable economic change.

Ashely’s brand Livelihood sells high quality hoodies online and uses the profits to fund development programs. She explains, “The phrase on the back of the neck line is ‘Keep Your Hood Up.’ It’s a reminder, even when life is tough, to keep your neighborhood up in prosperity and focus on positive outreach in your community.”
