Members of the Women Building Peace Coalition will gather on Saturday in a downtown Boise park for an advocacy quilting event.
The event is part of the national advocacy campaign called Quilting for the Constitution: Peace by Piece, the coalition announced in a news release. It involves people writing messages on fabric squares that call for commitment to constitutional principles, respect for the rule of law, and protecting checks and balances.
In May, quilts sewn with the fabric squares will be delivered to Washington, D.C., congressional offices.
“Each square represents a voice, a value, and a vision for the future of our country,” Alexis Bradley, a campaign organizer, said in a prepared statement. “Peace by Piece gives women a way to engage in the political process that is creative, nonviolent, and deeply personal.”
In March, the campaign launched at a national conference in Orem, Utah, according to the news release.
When: Noon on Saturday, April 19
Where: Cecil D. Andrus Park, located at 601 W. Jefferson St. in Boise
