Solidarity Saturdays

Hosted by Third Way Peace Fellowship & the Poverty Liberation Collective Discover, Practice, and Build Community at Solidarity Saturdays Solidarity Saturdays are monthly gatherings rooted in mutual aid, a practice of sharing skills, knowledge, and support to build stronger, more connected communities. Each month centers on a different theme, creating space for hands-on learning, accessible education, and meaningful connection. What to Expect: 🧠 Monthly Skillshare: Each Solidarity Saturday features a skillshare focused on community care, collective safety, and building power together. Topics vary by month and may include Know Your Rights trainings, creative resistance, or other shared skills rooted in solidarity. 🥣 Free Vegan Meal: Enjoy food prepared with care by Third Way Peace Fellowship.

Feel free to knit or crochet balaclavas from one of the suggested patterns or a similar pattern of your choosing. Yarn: make sure the yarn type is warm and stretchy. Wool is preferred for winter accessories. I’m sure they’d accept any color, but I’d aim for solid colors, neutral, black if possible. No fancy or personalized designs that make someone stand out too much. Knit patterns: Sockhead Cowl (free Ravelry pattern) – Beginner level knit pattern. Very versatile and easy to make. Fingering weight yarn.
