The Results are in: The Shoe Strike
Announcing our very first event for the Bloomington community: a shoe strike!
This event allows us to participate in climate advocacy without being in-person, puts a buffer in the fast fashion system we know to be environmentally hazardous, and gives back to the local community.
People in our community donate their shoes by putting them in boxes set around town, and we set them out in a climate "strike". Afterwards, we donate them to local charities based on their wishlists.
The dates to donate shoes have passed.
