Help spread the word!

Some of the most helpful ways to help the project grow is to share it widely! Crafters, craft-curious, and non-crafters have all come together to make this project thrive. All are welcome, and we can find a space in it for everyone.

PRINTABLE!

Printing out a poster and posting it can be an incredible way to spread the word.

Social Media Sharing:

Feel free to craft language that feels right for you. In case it is helpful, here are some ideas:

When sharing, please use welcomeblanket.org @welcomeblanket and #welcomeblanket - it will help connect interested people with the project and will help us re-share what you are doing!

Possible language:

“Join us as we craft a Welcome Blanket (date/time/location) for a new refugee coming to the United States.”

“Want to help craft a new American tradition of Welcome? Let’s use our heads, hearts, hands and histories to welcome refugees coming to the United States! Let’s join Welcome Blanket (for more info, follow @welcomeblanket and check out welcomeblanket.org)”

“Calling all craftivists:

“Want to welcome up refugees? Join Welcome Blanket. Make a Blanket and share a story important to your family about immigration/migration/relocation. Work is exhibited together and then gifted through refugee organizations to our newest neighbors.”

“Join Pussyhat Project’s Jayna Zweiman, in welcoming our newest refugee neighbors with Welcome Blanket. (Welcomeblanket.org / @welcomeblanket) ”

“Be in an art show and welcome a new refugee family with Welcome Blanket. For more information: follow @welcomeblanket or check out welcomeblanket.org”
