If you need help in finding or recalling specific actions or
policies that you think should be recorded on this quilt, try any newspaper on
any day. Additionally, there are many
publications such as the Nation and Liberal Opinion and internet sites such
as truthout,org. and moveon.org. Nonprofits such as Audubon, People for the
American Way, Unitarian Universalists, United for a Fair Economy, Veterans for
Peace, and countless others all have publications and websites.
This is a great project for groups; share pens, fabric,
ideas, and messages of outrage and hope.
