Welcome to Hearts on our Sleeves
Who are we?
Our aim is to engage people by offering a hand-made gift: a heart on a sleeve. We write a letter to accompany the gift. The letter explains our concerns about environmental damage and its impact on women and girls. We ask for accountability and more hope-filled, positive decisions.
We work together on local, national or global campaigns with the aim of being better ancestors to those who will live here in the future.
1
Choose somebody
We choose a company, a group of politicians, whoever we would like to reach out to. Some hearts are simply left as gifts in public spaces, for whoever finds them.
2
Make hearts for their sleeves
We sit together: virtually or in person, in a cafe or on a park bench, in each other's homes, and we crochet a heart for their sleeves.
3
Write them a letter
We write a letter. We ask questions, and raise awareness of the things that we're worried about. We ask them to wear their heart on their sleeve.
4
Visit and deliver
We like to deliver our letters by hand. If that's not practical, we post them on an agreed day so that they arrive together.
