​
The Violet Protest is a public effort to send 50 hand-made
​textile squares to each and every member of Congress
​in support of these core American values:

         
 ​• Respect for the other   • Citizenship   • Compromise
•  Country over party and corporate influence
• Courage     • Candor    • Compassion   • Creativity

              Whether we weave, knit, crochet, quilt, or embroider all 26,750 of these squares — through this social action, and from every corner of America; we as makers of all political persuasions, believe we can employ our willing spirit and our talents to contribute to healing divisions that threaten our country. ​This collection of textile squares will be first displayed at Phoenix Art Museum, in the Spring of 2021, before they are sent to the new
​117th Congress by late 2021.


Focused on the values we hold dear as Americans, rather
​than any political beliefs, the color violet symbolizes the literal combination of red and blue, long held as symbols of our nation's differing ideologies. Our common goal is to send a physical message of friendly protest through this colossal visual expression to demonstrate that if we as citizens are ​willing ​to come together, so then must our elected officials.
