Laverne Cox is using her purse to (literally) pay it forward.

The Orange Is The New Black star and LGBTQ rights activist appeared at the 2019 Emmy Awards last fall holding a custom clutch designed by Edie Parker. The accessory was printed with a rainbow design on one side and read, Oct. 8, Title VII, Supreme Court.

Cox, who collaborated with Parker on the design, wanted the bag to remind Americans of the date that the Supreme Court would begin hearing arguments over whether LGBTQ workers should be protected under federal anti-discrimination laws.

This week, she listed a one-of-a-kind replica of the clutch on Charitybuzz . Proceeds will be donated to the Anti-Violence Project , an LGBTQ advocacy group that strives to end violence against the community. Bidding is open through July 8, and as of Tuesday afternoon had reached $1,025.
