Social Justice Sewing Academy

In a world of uncertainty and uneasy policies, laws, regulations, biases, stereotypes, assumptions, and prejudices what are we to do?  In a world full of isms: racism, sexism, ableism, classism and so much more, what are we to do? The Social Justice Sewing Academy empowers young people to use their experiences and intelligence and creativity to sew their worlds showing how they see problems and opportunities for growth and change. 

To contribute to this project please visit our Instagram (@sjsacademy) and send us a DM or message us through the website!

Possible opportunities include, but are not limited too:

 1.      Embroider a block - Hand embroider a quilt block that has been cut and glued down by a youth in a SJSA workshop.

2.      Donate fabric or materials -- anything sewing related is appreciated and all donations are tax deductible!

3.      Contact us to host a workshop or host a quilt show! We would love to help groups of young people who could benefit from SJSA.
