Publisher Description
Create change in the world with this inspiring guide to social activism, from the artist and craftivist behind Badass Cross Stitch.
Craftivism, or the space where art and activism meet, is a powerful, ever-evolving social justice movement that continues to grow and diversify as more voices and mediums take part in it. In Let's Move the Needle, Shannon Downey, an outspoken voice in the craftivist movement for over a decade, provides a roadmap and accessible toolkit for burgeoning art activists.
Filled with self-reflective activities, exercises, prompts, and stories, Let's Move the Needle educates and empowers creatives to center their art around collective action in service of political, social or community issues they are most passionate about; affirming that everyone can be a changemaker and that change-making can be generative, enjoyable, and a bit sassy!

A call to action book for crafts and activism
The author reads the book, which I also have in hand while listening to the audiobook. The book is so full of information and stories-it is both inspiring and fascinating to read all the ways this art/activism has impacted social change and communities. I recommend it for anyone interested in activism, crafting, fiber arts, and for the inspiring people who inspired Shannon to share her work with us. There’s work to be done. Get listening and doing.
