Craftivist quilting bee-each month a different hive boss asks for specific blocks. This Stitchcraft with Intention is a black courthouse steps block to symbolize the SCOTUS abyss & colors symbolizing your demand which is written on the seam allowance on the back. #craftivism #quiltsky #quilt 🪡

Letter to the editor in WaPo today with my siblings. Pushing back any way we can! Highly suggest phone banking for Wisc. -so fascinating to talk with voters; just the mention of Musk pouring $ into the other guy seems to make them commit to voting for Crawford. Sign up with @indivisible.org

Finishing my March gnome but also calling my house rep to block the return of predatory bank fees. CFPB issued a $5 cap but Senate voted to let banks charge whatever they want. Ask your Rep if he wants to save consumers 5 billion or give it to the banks. 🧶. #craftivist #knitting #knitgnomes

Instead of meeting an old friend for lunch we meet and fight for our reproductive rights! Writing letters to NY state legislators to ask for funding for @ppfa.org and changing mandatory abortion reporting. Always a pair of socks on the needles too! #craftivism 🧶 #knitting #knitsocks

Please call your rep to fight the felon’s EO to abolish the DOE; only Congress has that power. Are we going to go back to the 50s when children with special needs were not educated?! 3rd knit gnome for my grandbabies who may or may not be well educated. 🧶 #knitting #craftivism #knitgnome

Highly recommend signing up for @indivisible.org Thursday zoom to gain inspiration and information. While you’re there, sign up to phone bank for Susan Crawford in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election April 1. And you can stress knit socks through it all! 🧶 #craftivism #knitting #knitsocks

If you need to do something to counteract the demise of our democracy may I suggest phone banking for Susan Crawford in Wisconsin’s crucial Supreme Court election April1. Sign up for shifts and training @indivisible.org . Wisconsinites are still Midwest nice and I found the calls made a difference.

We are angry and sad about yesterday’s Senate actions but we will persist! Sign up to phone bank for Susan Crawford in Wisc. Work on your sign for the huge April 5th demo. Created the Blanket Statement quilt years ago but still relevant on #nationalquiltingday #quilt #craftivism #quilting
