Jesse Locks and Maya Parker Knitting With Other Women

On Saturday afternoon, women of all ages and backgrounds sprawled out along sidewalks around the park and in front of the main stage to participate in radical knitting circles.  They were sewing the more than 8,000 pink and green square cozies together to create a quilt with the message “We Will Not Raise Our Children to Kill Another Mother’s Child.”

Lindsey Campbell and Colonel Ann Wright

On many of them were messages pinned by the person who had originally knit the square to honor their own mother or child.  Women read these aloud, which would spark another woman’s story, followed by lively discussion, laughter, tears, and even singing.

Fay Ann Lee is an everyday woman doing extraordinary things.  Recently she wrote, directed and starred in the hit movie, Falling for Grace with Margaret Cho, Lewis Black, Christine Baranski, and Gale Harold.

Fay has a special connection to our community and See Jane Do.  Last year CATS hosted a special screening of her latest film in downtown Nevada City.  Flying all the way from New York Fay was taken in with the charm of our town and the hospitality of our community.

Thousands of people gathered in  Nevada City, CA to take part in the largest environmental film festival in the United States.  The Wild and Scenic Film Festival went fresh, local and wild this year as it hosted over 130 films, workshops and special guests.

See Jane Do was honored to host the first ever Wild and Scenic Media Lounge where we interviewed over forty filmmakers and environmental action heroes.

Two feisty Western Shoshone sisters put up a heroic fight for their land rights and their human rights in the award-winning documentary “American Outrage” by acclaimed filmmakers Beth and George Gage.

Carrie and Mary Dann endure terrifying roundups by armed federal marshals in which thousands of their horses and cattle are confiscated, for the crime of grazing them on the open range outside their private ranch - even though that range is part of 60 million acres recognized as Western Shoshone land by the U.S.

As team See Jane Do attempts to get back to the basics in our personal life; gardening, cooking, walking to town and connecting with our community, we can't help but think of the wise women, our grandmothers who often led this lifestyle long before Slow Food, organic, or free range became selected options.

Nowadays with a disconnect from local community, genetically modified, processed foods, and ill-treatment of our land, It seems the lessons grandma taught us and the wisdom they can offer us are more important than ever. We met a handful of grandmothers that are taking the grandmother archetype of a sweet old lady, sitting on her porch in her rocking chair crocheting doilies and turning it upside down.  In fact, one of our guests from Nevada County Grandmother's For Peace organization suggest that while they might not be rocking in chairs they are rocking the world to create a peaceful planet for the generations to come.

These women are proving that activism and community involvement doesn't end in one's golden years, but rather with the knowledge and patience that comes from years of lived experience, can be a powerful asset when taking on multi-billion dollar corporations that threaten our health and environment, teaching back to the basics, spreading messages of peace, or that change is always possible.
