If you are local to me, please save the date and join us for Mend in Public Day. If you are not local, or simply not able to be there, lots of other options are available, including events in other parts of the world. And if, like me, you are looking out into the world and seeing so much that needs mending? Please do put down your doom scrolling and that lonely feeling that besets you when you contemplate the enormity of a broken world. Come and mend both concretely and symbolically. Come and build community with others who want to mend our collective brokenness. Come and grieve the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster and the violations of workers’ rights and human rights that occur in the name of fashion. Come and think about the damage the textile industries cause to the environment and the contribution they are making to the climate emergency. Come and do something practical and collective to make change, however small.
