The Resist Hat is born of this moment, a statement of resistance against oppression, social injustice and abuse of power. It’s also a celebration of our democracy and solidarity. Show up. Raise your voice. Stand with community. Resist.

As of August 2019, the Resist Hat is available as a free Ravelry download. There are also new charts available that work within the pattern design – CLOSE THE CAMPS and CLIMATE ACTION NOW. Those charts are included within the pattern images on this Ravelry listing.
