Meet Sarah Corbett, an advocate for “quiet” campaigning. Her Craftivism project has now blossomed into a book, and now a TED Talk

“For the introverts among us, traditional forms activism like marches, protests and door-to-door canvassing can be intimidating and stressful. “Craftivism” is a quieter form of activism that uses handicrafts as a way to get people to slow down and think deeply about the issues they’re facing, all while engaging the public more gently.
