Why we knit:

http://occupyknit-in.org/pages/why.html

San Francisco Bay Area knitters making hats for occupiers. And other activists in support of social justice. We come together and knit for a variety of reasons:. To show solidarity, through our knitted gifts, with others working for the goals of the occupy movement. To establish lines of communication with other occupy groups. To occupy public space in a peaceful, productive way. To maintain the visibility of Occupy Berkeley and show the vigor of our movement in the wake of many camps being dismantled.
