Education for Peaceful, Compassionate, and Sustainable Communities

Founded in 2018 by Dr. Lisa Kemmerer, Tapestry is an information sharing nonprofit designed for scholars and activists. Tapestry operates from the understanding that oppressions are neither separate nor distinct from one another nor from any other community belief or expression: All things exist in relation to and in conjunction with one another. (To use a Zen Buddhist concept, oppressions inter-are.)

Tapestry works for change through three interconnected channels: direct action, artwork, and scholarship (the latter including research and writing, mentoring, and presentations). Engaging with ideas and people, Tapestry fosters a wider and deeper peace and compassion.

Tapestry works for free and asks those who are able to provide a donation to join in the work of Tapestry.
