That's a question I've been asking myself a lot lately. In Crafting the Resistance, Heather Marano and Lara Neel answer that question with a resounding 'Yes!' By making, using, and wearing the projects in these pages, you can use your crafting superpowers to speak out to your friends, family, and the world. Let them know that you craft for Liberty and Justice for All. Resist!" —Donna Druchunas, author of Knitting as a Political Act and The Art of Lithuanian Knitting "The projects in Crafting The Resistance are just like the book itself; inspiring, simple to comprehend, and immediate classics. The quotes that begin each section are compelling, as are the reading and listening recommendations that accompany each item. We are living in a singular time; these great projects allow us to fully personalize our 'revolution from within.’" —Annie Modesitt, author of Confessions of a Knitting Heretic "Heather Marano and Lara Neel have put together a timely and charming how-to book of simple projects with practical appeal to activists.

What better thing to occupy anxious hands than an act of creation, an act of defiance? Neel and Marano offer a number of projects crossing various mediums, and introduce first time craftivists to both different crafts and some intersectional issues—more than just pink pussyhats.
