FUNDRAISER FOR PALESTINE
QUILT RAFFLE
A core principle of the Community Quilting Bee has always been connectivity. As a form of solidarity, we are creating one or more small quilts (depending on how many squares are received) to be raffled off.
All funds collected for this raffle will be used to buy e-sims. The purchase of these e-sims gives Palestinians the ability to connect with their loved ones outside, as well as provide the autonomy to control their own narrative
Quilting is a very slow process, but we are & have been dedicated to this cause long term. In the mean time we encourage everyone to contact your local representatives & call for a permanent ceasefire, donate, & boast info.
If this option is no longer needed and/or available at the time of the raffle, all funds collected will be used for direct mutual aid to Palestinians.
