About this event

Community • Nationality

Women Building Peace invites you to join us for Quilts and Collective Action, a cross-partisan gathering held in Nashville, Tennessee. This overnight event offers a unique form of creative advocacy.

As part of our Peace by Piece: Quilting for the Constitution campaign, we will focus on upholding the constitutional principles of due process, human dignity, the rule of law, and freedom of speech.

In this creative letter-writing campaign, participants will stitch constituents’ signatures into advocacy quilts, each with a message for our elected leaders. We will also write postcards that call on them to uphold the Constitution.The quilts and postcards will be delivered directly to Tennessee’s U.S. senators, representatives, and governor, urging them to uphold these essential constitutional freedoms. By turning quilting and postcard-writing into a form of civic engagement, we transform advocacy into a hands-on, human-centered act of solidarity.

Prepare to bathe your senses in the storytelling, flavors, music, and art alongside fellow Tennesseans in a peaceful resistance. This is more than just a creative event; it’s about building community and forming a coalition of women dedicated to protecting our constitution. 

In partnership with We Choose Welcome of The Immigration Forum, we invite you to join us in using creative advocacy to strengthen the fabric of our nation—one stitch and one postcard at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be able to quilt or sew to come to the event?

No! We are partnering with quilting guilds across the state to prepare finished quilts for us ahead of time. Know someone who might like to get involved? Share this link with them! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0845AEAF22A0F8C16-58102046-quilting#/

Do I have to stay all night long?

Not at all, sleep queen. You are welcome to leave at any point during the night, but no one will be allowed to enter the building between 10pm and 6am for security reasons.

Should I bring my own food?

You are welcome to bring any snacks you like, but we will have free food and drinks available throughout the night from immigrant-owned restaurants around Nashville.

Can I attend if I am not a woman from Tennessee?

While we welcome all kinds of supporters to the action of peaceful resistance, we desire to protect the safety and integrity of this event by limiting it to women from Tennessee.
