A craftivism group in Montclair, New Jersey
Craftivism is using craft
and creativity
as activism.
For over 30 years, The Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence (MFEE) has served as a learning lab to cultivate a thriving educational ecosystem that nurtures all 6,000 Montclair public school children.
In systems that operate almost exclusively in English, non-English-speaking parents in Montclair face many barriers to meaningfully engaging and supporting their children. Students face barriers to accessing the education and fundamental resources to which they are entitled. While the district is intent on addressing the needs of our rapidly growing population of multilingual learners, institutional change takes time, and our children need support now.
Cosecha is a movement fighting for a world where all immigrants can live with dignity, respect, and permanent protection—regardless of legal status.
In 2026, our fight is urgent. The attacks are louder. The systems of detention, deportation, and exploitation are more violent. But so is our resistance.
