A core principle of the Community Quilting Bee has always been connectivity. As a form of solidarity, we created two quilts approximately 36″ x 36″ to be raffled off.
All funds collected for this raffle will be used to buy eSIMs via Connecting Humanity. The purchase of these eSIMs supports Palestinians’ autonomy to control their own narrative.
Entries open November 10, 7am PST / 10am EST.Raffle sales will end December 15, 6pm PST / 9pm EST. The winner will be chosen that same day (12/15) at 7pm PST live at the Feminist Center for Creative Work as well as announced online. For transparency/accountability, we will post receipts of our donation.
For the raffle winners, hand delivery of the quilts are available in limited areas of LA and the SF Bay Area. Otherwise, the quilt will be sent via mail, requiring a US postal address in the United States. Sorry no international shipping.
