About the Book

Art activism, artivism, craftivism, or the space where art and activism meet, is a powerful, ever-evolving social justice movement that continues to grow and diversify as more voices and mediums increasingly take part in it. In Let's Move the Needle, Shannon Downey, an outspoken voice in the craftivist movement for over a decade, meets burgeoning art activists where they are and provides a roadmap and accessible toolkit for every leg of their activist journey. Filled with self-reflective activities, exercises, and prompts, along with practical stories about the work of other art activists across mediums and throughout history, Let's Move the Needle educates and empowers creatives to centre their art around collective action in service of political, social or community issues they are most passionate about; affirming that everyone can be a changemaker and that change-making can be generative, enjoyable, and a bit sassy!

Review :
Inspiring and funky ... this book will get readers thinking about how to make a difference and create the kind of world they want to live in, whether it's through craftivism or via some other pathway.--Booklist This stimulating, thoughtfully-organized guide to craftivism will appeal both to activist-minded creatives and noncrafters looking for practical steps to help turn their intentions into action.--Library Journal, starred review Shannon Downey shows that we can move that needle together, in despair, outrage, boredom, and in a joyful imagination of the world as it should be. --Steve Hosik Moon, Former Director of Organizing at Asian Americans Advancing Justice Let's Move the Needle is full of heart, humor and a major dose of how-to that inspires social change and invites us to help build a more inclusive, just, and equitable world.--Mary Morten, President, Morten Group, LLC Let's Move the Needle is much more than a craft book ... Shannon's warmth and wit shine through as she challenges you to step out of your comfort zone and start crafting for the greater good.--Stephanie Rohr, author of Feminist Cross-Stitch An exquisite celebration of creativity, curiosity, tenacity, and delight. This book will give you the permission, agency, and excitement to start making positive change.--Greta Johnsen, host of Nerdette podcast Finally, an exploration of the lightning-fast mind that is Shannon Downey ... This powerful book offers a deep understanding of craftivism and guides you to take authentic actions based on your own values.--Julie Jackson, creator of Subversive Cross Stitch This book allows you to step more deeply into your soul and find matters of justice that you will be willing to fight forever for truth and equity to prevail. Craft is the medium and a gloriously abundant and empathic life well-lived is the reward.--Elena Quintana, Ph.D., justice activist
