UPDATE:
This began as a project to support social justice in the US, but right now there's a great need to support Afghan refugees.

For every donation of $50 or more to one of the groups listed here:

https://www.npr.org/2021/08/17/1028483700/help-afghanistan-refugees

I'll send you a set of lips (one, not 12, just to be clear--that's just the name of the initiative).

Fill out the form below, then I’ll contact you to confirm that I still have lips for you. I may have to charge a small amount for postage for international (non-U.S.) orders to defray costs, but I will let you know what it would be when I e-mail you.

Once I e-mail you, respond with your donation receipt, and I’ll send out your lips!

We’ve been here before: another unarmed black man killed at the hands of law enforcement. This time an arrest, but only one*, and only after days of pent-up rage exploding in the streets.

And after 400 years of injustice: https://www.theroot.com/a-timeline-of-events-that-led-to-the-2020-fed-up-rising-1843780800

Only a few weeks prior, trapped at home by COVID, I’d stumbled upon fiber artist Yrúrarí’s fanciful work reclaiming old sweaters with audacious red lips sprouting out from everywhere and pointed tongues snaking beyond imagination. I’d bought her pattern, ordered yarn, and gotten to work.

As crisis erupted upon crisis, knitting became a way to cope, but it wasn’t helping the problem.

Until now: 12 Angry Lips
