Our mission
Our mission is to empower women to come together through the art of quilting as a powerful form of peaceful protest and advocacy. We seek to inspire collective action and uphold constitutional principles by crafting quilts that convey clear messages for our congressional leaders. Through creativity and collaboration, we will amplify women's voices and encourage community engagement as we strive to preserve our constitutional rights.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
“We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there 'is' such a thing as being too late. This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.”
–Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Host a Quilt-In
The U.S. constitutional system is built on the principles of separation of powers, ensuring that no branch of government can dominate the others. This protects citizens, preserving their access to both representative government and redress through the courts.
Quilting has long been a means for women to express their voices and unite for social change, dating back to the quilts created for the suffrage movement that called for women's rights and beyond.
We are launching a national campaign inviting women across the country to participate in quilting events where they will write messages to congressional leaders on fabric squares. These squares will be sewn into quilts and delivered to leaders in an effort to amplify our call for leaders in all branches of government to uphold the Constitution. Our aim is to inspire collective action and engage a broad range of communities as we quilt for constitutional rights.
