Local non-profit Multi-Communities is running an 11-week violence awareness, prevention and intervention group for East African and Black/African men, ages 18-24, called the “Men’s Circle Journey Project”. They are requesting supplies for a special Clothesline Project where the men will paint t-shirts, posters, and other messages on behalf of victims/survivors of violence. They plan to have all paintings ready for display in early October, which is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Needed supplies include: white or pastel men’s t-shirts, fabric paint, jumbo wood craft sticks, 8-1/2x11 heavy card stock, 8-1/2x11 glossy paper, cardboard, fabric spray paint, soft glitter brush on fabric paint, Tulip puffy dimensional fabric paint, self-stick crystal round gems, Creatology wood stick people, all-purpose fabric glue sticks, and/or gift cards to Michael’s, Northwest Art & Frame or Joanne’s Fabrics. Please drop off all donations by Sunday, September 18. Multi-Communities addresses domestic, youth and sexual violence and chemical dependency in predominantly African American faith communities as well as other communities throughout Seattle and beyond.
