We will not be unraveled by fascism. We will frog the system and start again.

Core Message

To unite people, crafters, and allies in a joyful, creative act of political repair.
To show that the way forward isn’t denial or despair — it’s frogging what’s failed and crafting something new together.

• Frog the System: Undo what’s wrong, rebuild what’s right.

• Craft = Care = Courage: Every stitch is a stand, every knot a connection.

• Community Over Control: Authoritarianism isolates; crafting gathers.

• Anger Is Creative Energy: We turn our fury into fabric.

Slogans

• “Knot today, fascism!”

• "Rip it out! Start again! Let’s frog the system, friends!"

• In crafting "to frog" means to undo an error and repair it

• Portland, OR protesters took back "the frog" and revitalized the symbol into one of resistance and solidarity

• In the military, "getting froggy" or "feeling froggy" is a phrase conveying confidence and  a willingness to jump into bold action

We got you!

No worries, no skills necessary. You can simply attend the protest or learn there if you're a novice, rusty, or it's your first time! We will have people ready and willing to teach at the event. If you want to get a head start, reach out to a freind and start crafting as a community, and check back for tutorials and recomdations on fabric artists to follow!

This is a grass roots, collaborative effort, brought to you by several volunteers among multiple community led groups and organizations, to make Daniella Mestyanek Young aka  Knitting Cult Lady's fabulous idea of an angry knit-in happen. We have a team of individual volunteers managing the website, behind the scene details, and correspondence with the partners, sponsors, and volunteers involved. 

Daniella Mestyanek Young is an author, speaker, and veteran who writes about cults, control, and courage. Her work connects the threads between systems of obedience and acts of creative defiance. As a veteran organizer, she brings logistical precision to grassroots art activism — coordinating a protest that’s both disciplined and deeply imaginative.

“In knitting, you frog your mistakes. In democracy, you fix them.

Either way, you don’t pretend they aren’t there.” — Daniella Mestyanek Young

No. 

This is a mutual aid, grass roots, collaborative effort spread among multiple volunteers, groups, and organziations, led by Daniella Mestyanek Young aka Knitting Cult Lady to host an event for, of, and by, THE PEOPLE. The Point Team is working behind the scenes to ensure a well organized and well run event as volunteers.

• Could be taxed as a gift or income to the individual receiving mutual aid, depending on the platform and exchange 

• Requires education and building of trust
