Watermelon Pins for Palestine BEADING WORKSHOP

Join The Chery Pit for a FREE Sunday Night Beading Workshop!

A local Dene and Two-Spirit artist, Red Plume Woman, will be teaching us how to bead watermelon pins that we can wear to show our support for a free and unoccupied Palestine! This a free event and spots are very limited so please only RSVP if you are confident that you will be attending. If you RSVP and something comes up and you can no longer attend, please send us a quick email letting us know (: [email protected]

Because this is a free event, we highly encourage those who can to donate to fundraisers supporting people in Gaza. At the event, we will have information available about some GoFundMes that you can directly donate to.
