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.

Kitten Mittens are inspired by the Pussyhat Project
which resulted in seas of pink hats at International Women’s Day marches worldwide in 2017. Let’s keep up the momentum!
The mitts provide a friendly reminder that our bodies belong to us - we have claws and will use them if need be.
