Can we get some notes on here? 

Be a shame for something this epic not to become a real event in history.

PS Hey, go big or go home right? I just used Fox News to help me know which celebrities to message. And of course, it’s not a party until you invite the Jedi Master and HRH the Dutchess of Cambridge. ❤

There is a current history of knitting and activism – check out Knitting Nannas, who protest against fracking and coal seam gas in Australia. They are a peaceful protest organisation, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get arrested for doing things like chaining themselves to fences. I don’t see why knitters in the US couldn’t use the same approach to protest ICE. Basically it’s using what’s perceived as a genteel, unthreatening hobby to be subversive and get attention. It never looks great for authority when they’re dragging grandmas in cardigans into police cars, and they know this.
