On the night of January 7, in the back section of Fremont’s Red Door pub, about 30 women crowded in and set to work crafting pussy hats, pink beanies with pointed cat ears that are intended to be worn by protesters at the upcoming Women’s March in Washington, DC.
The march is set for January 21, Donald Trump’s first day in office. The plan is for women—as well as transgender, gender-nonconforming, and feminist people—to flood the National Mall in a unified display of opposition to Trump’s misogyny and normalization of rape culture.
Seattle’s Red Door crafting party to support DC-bound marchers was hosted by Anna Curtiss and Bethany Bevier, cofounders of the Backstage Knitting podcast.
