The RBG sweater is inspired by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I wanted to find a way to honor the important work she has done and continues to do as a Supreme Court Justice, while also paying homage to her amazing collar collection. My hope is that this sweater will endow the wearer with the strength, perseverance, gravitas and integrity we so rightfully associate with The Knitorious RBG.

Donation Transparency:
In the first two years of this pattern release, a percentage of the proceeds went to the following organizations:

• $800 donated to RAICES (Refugee & Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services)
• $670 donated to Planned Parenthood
• $200 donated to Movement for Black Lives
• $200 donated to Movimiento Cosecha
• $200 donation to NDN Collective COVID-19 Response
• $200 donation to Coronavirus Fund for BIWoC- Act in Allyship

(The ACLU was removed from the donation list when I learned more about their history of protecting violent white nationalists’ hate speech under the guise of “free speech”. That is not something I am interested in supporting.)

The same format of $2 being donated per pattern is no longer in place because of the accounting side of it, but I am committed and will always be committed to making my own person donations and encourage you to do the same.
