Whether she’s advocating for abortion rights or voting rights, the 22-year-old holds a deep influence on her followers. Read along to know more about her.
Who Is Democrat Activist Olivia Julianna?
Born in 2002, Olivia Julianna Herrera is a first-generation college student, currently doing her major in political science at the University of Houston-Victoria. Her passion for activism took a significant leap around the 2020 elections, where she started taking on various political issues, directly connecting with Gen Z.
In 2021, Olivia’s fierce tweets after the super-restrictive Heartbeat Act stirred a buzz in the country. Next was the major X showdown in 2022 when Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz made a rude comment about abortion rights activists. “Why is it that the women with the least likelihood of getting pregnant are the ones most worried about having abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb,” Gaetz said during his speech at the Student Action Summit in Tampa

In a strong response to the words, Olivia, in a strong-worded tweet, said, “It’s come to my attention that Matt Gaetz — alleged paedophile— has said that it’s always the “odious… 5’2 350 pounds” women that “nobody wants to impregnate” who rally for abortion. I’m 5’11″ and 6’4 in heels. I wear them so the small men like you are reminded of your place,” sparking a heated exchange on the microblogging platform.
