A Do-it-Yourself mini protest banner kit made in a basement by The Craftivist Collective

These are our most successful and requested projects.
The concept is to make a small unthreatening protest banner on a global justice or poverty issue that you care about. Then you put it up (with cable ties) in a relevant public space. Take a photograph of it and email us a blog explaining your saying and location in more detail so we can blog it on our website. We hope that people notice them, think about its saying and then discuss it with their friends as well as inspire them to act to change the world for the better. Now we have craftivists all over the world making Mini Protest Banners .

We have them all over the UK (London, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Bristol), Germany (berlin), USA (LA) and Australia (Melbourne). We have also gained press for this project from Ink-d Gallery, The Observer magazine, Mr X Stitch as well as support from craft bloggers such as Guardian Craft Writer Perri Lewis, fashionista like Hanna Thomas and the Godmother of Craftivism Betsy Greer
