I’m back this week with a new list of textile artist fundraisers (including mine!) for Movement Voter Project. We’ve been running this fundraising campaign for two weeks, and have raised over $10k so far. We’re hoping to triple that in our last week, which begins today.
We have even more artists participating over the next week. I hope you’ll take a look at their work, and support them, as well our efforts to fund local, progressive, grassroots organizing.
