1000 Cranes For Water Protectors

The Water Protectors need our help now more than ever. With the eviction from Standing Rock, #noDAPL Last Stand moves to Washington DC and the courts on March 10.  As many of us look on with feelings of helplessness and shame, we can still contribute by sponsoring Missoula MT's origami group, The Cranium , as they fold 1000  cranes in support of legal defence for the Water Protectors.

In celebration of my 75th birthday on March 4th,  I am asking you to mark this milestone year by sponsoring The Cranium as we fold 1000 origami cranes.  To be able to make a significant contribution to  the Water Protectors  would be  better than any gift my friends and family could bestow.

Sponsorship levels:
$.01 per crane = $10.00
$.02 per crane = $20.00
$.05 per crane = $50.00
$.10 per crane = $100.00
$.25 per crane = $250.00
$.50 per crane = $500.00
$1.00 per crane = $1,000.00

Bonnie Tarses' Origami Story
I began folding cranes in an aesthetic and safe attempt to prevent pigeons from pooping on my porch. After I learned that folding1000 cranes grants the folder a wish, I folded my first 1000 cranes for a dear friend who was gravely ill. Then I learned that the Jeanette Rankin Peace Center  was folding cranes to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.  The experience was so uplifting that a group of us decided to continue meeting under the name of The Cranium. This past November we completed 1000 cranes in support of the Missoula Library Bond (which passed!) and 1000 cranes for Har Shalom in response to recent anti-Semitic activity in the community. As we completed the cranes, a member suggested we fold 1000 cranes for Standing Rock.


Here we are in action.......
