Women Building Peace, in partnership with We Choose Welcome, invites you to join us f Quilts and Collective Action, a cross-partisan gathering held in Nashville, Tennessee. This overnight event offers a unique form of creative advocacy and community.
As part of the Peace by Piece: Quilting for the Constitution campaign, we will be asking our representatives to uphold the constitutional principles of due process, human dignity, the rule of law, and freedom of speech.
Immigrant families are an essential part of Tennessee’s communities, yet too often they face dehumanizing policies and barriers to justice. By quilting, writing postcards, and showing up together, we send a message to our elected leaders: we stand with our immigrant neighbors, and we expect the Constitution to protect every person who calls this country home.
What to Expect
- Creative Resistance — Stitch your name into advocacy quilts and write postcards urging Tennessee’s senators, representatives, and governor to uphold constitutional freedoms and human dignity.
- Community & Welcome — Share food, music, and connection across cultures, building solidarity rooted in belonging and mutual care.
- A Coalition for Justice — Stand alongside immigrant leaders and allies to imagine a more just Tennessee where every voice is valued.
This is more than an event—it’s a movement of welcome, justice, and peace. Whether you’ve walked with us for years or are just stepping in, your presence matters.
Together, we will weave a Tennessee where immigrant families are embraced, justice is upheld, and peace takes root.
