UPDATE: Starting 6/20/18, given the situation of migrant children on the US border, proceeds from this project will be donated to RAICES Texas until further notice.

These mittens are part of an ebook - Join Hands. All proceeds from the collection will be split evenly between the American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In trying times, support those around you by letting your heart shine. We can all be a light in the darkness for someone in need.

Heart shaped cables wrapping around the side of these mittens give you a subtle way to show love to family, friends, allies, and community members.
