I'm using up my stash, shopping at yard sales and buying the occasional organic/FairTrade/made in USA/Japan/Europe/indigenous fabrics. Join a guild or crafters group where extra supplies are traded. Join a BuyNothing or Freecyle/Trash Nothing group.

One day boycotts are ineffective if all we do is buy the stuff the day before or the day after. We need to have ongoing boycotts. It took years of boycotting grapes for the UFW to be heard. Boycotts are long term commitments.

We invite you to another gathering. Monday is President’s Day – Make Your Voices Heard! Our walking group planned an orderly, peaceful gathering in Redwood City on El Camino Real between James St. & Broadway on Monday, February 17 from 1- 2 PM. This is not a march. Bring signs.

Even our apples and bananas have stickers on them. I've been wondering about the environmental impact.

Perhaps we need to have a policy of “Liberty and Justice for all” in our departments- how can they disagree with that?

Beautiful, I love your art of found objects. Seeing them calms me down :)
