We’ve had a website for 25 years.

16 Republicans could defund ICE, 23 could impeach and remove Trump. All it takes is 23 people to put an end to this.

Yes. Needle and Skein is a MN yarn store. ”All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to local immigrant aid organizations who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.”

Thank you!

Here's hoping you get it to work. I bought it through the store's PayHip account, as the first day, PayPal locked their account for a bit - probably due to the rapid influx of orders. They got that cleared up in a day.

Perfect.
