Craftivism Party for Maternal Health
Crochet artist and birth doula Marissa Currie is concerned about health inequities and racial disparities for birthing people in the United States. She is making these disparities visual with a crochet blanket made of granny squares, an item that is often gifted to a new child. Each square symbolizes one maternal death in the United States in 2023, the most recent year we have statistics for. She needs to make 669 squares, and the Cordial Eye is hosting a craftivism party to make it happen! These granny squares follow an easy beginner pattern. All supplies are provided. Suggested donations of $10-20 are appreciated and will be split between The Cordial Eye and Mass Mom Advocates.
Please note: Yarn for this project will be provided. This project requires an H (5mm) hook and there are a limited number of hooks available for those who are unable to bring their own, but if you are able to bring in your own please do!
