Sea of Eyes for the March for Our Lives A poster promoting the March for Our Lives in March of 2018, and the Evil Eye Mitts that participants were encouraged to make. This is the text from the original page, from the creator of this project, Krista Suh, who had also co-created the Pussyhat Project: I had a dream of a protest, a huge peaceful crowd with their hands outstretched toward the sky – each palm had a huge EYE drawn on it. It was a Sea of Eyes. I’ve been hanging on to that image knowing that it was going to do something, mean something. Sunday morning, I got invited to the March for Our Lives Facebook page – it is a march organized by the students of the Florida school shooting. And that’s when I knew. It is time. I’m calling on you to help make the Sea of Eyes a reality. To make a statement that enough is enough and gun violence has to stop. Congress needs to know that the people are watching. -
Welcome Blanket One of many Welcome Blankets that were knitted, crocheted, or quilted for The Welcome Blanket Project. According to their site, "The Welcome Blanket Project aims to connect people already living in the United States residents with our country’s newest immigrants through stories and handmade blankets, providing both symbolic and literal comfort and warmth. At the same time, the project offers a positive, hands-on way to understand the scope of a 2000-mile border wall and to subvert it from an idea of exclusion to one of inclusion. By participating in this project, people will also come together to talk about immigration policy and how it affects real-live people." -
