Let's find creative ways to help change the world. Heather Woodbury's "As The Globe Warms Panel Palooza" is a kick-ass tale of intersecting American livand a robust, life-affirming hearing & discussion.

"The Auntie Sewing Squad began on March 24, 2020 as a singular effort by artist Kristina Wong (in Los Angeles) who started making masks in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and needed some support in creating masks and increasing awareness. Kristina started taking donations to cover postage only and making masks for free." The aunties (and uncles) make masks and gather donations of needed materials for vulnerable groups: farm workers, those released from ICE detention or prison, immigrant communities, and the Navajo Nation. All funds raised purchase supplies in bulk. They're also offering a free Mask Sewing Camp July 15th. Got clothing to mend, remake, or re-invent? I can help with that.
