Everyday activism helps make change happen. An everyday activist is someone who challenges unfairness wherever they find it in everyday life. Anyone can become and everyday activist.

Everyday activism is talk and action in everyday life that is not consciously coordinated with the actions of others but is, to some degree, caused, inspired and encouraged by a social movement.

Everyday activists consciously intended to change others' ideas or behaviours in directions advocated by the movement.

Craftivism

Craftivism = activism + craft!

Craftivism is a word first used by Betsy Greer and made popular by Sarah Corbett and the Craftivist Collective. These inspiring craftivists show us the power of gentle protest.

The Craftivist Collective is exactly that – a collective, an inclusive group of people committed to using thoughtful, beautiful crafted works to help themselves and encourage others be the positive change they wish to see in the world.
