Opportunity Details

Craft Opportunity: Help Us Make "Fits" We're Throwing a Fit for Healthcare


Tennessee Justice Center is throwing a “fit” for Healthcare in Tennessee. We’re looking for volunteers to join us by constructing Fits.
 
A "Fit" - is a little yarn animal with a very important purpose. Fit's job is to hold stress and anger created by the refusal of our state legislators to close the Medicaid coverage gap. When we get frustrated by their lack of care for the 300,000+ people living in our state with limited or no access to healthcare, Fit holds that emotion in his tiny heart and let us toss him as a way to cope. They are a part of TJC’s “Fit Campaign” to spotlight the importance of access to affordable healthcare coverage and services as a way to improve the quality of life for millions of Tennesseans. The “Fits” are being distributed to our partners, friends, and clients across the state.
 
There are no special skills required for this project, so anyone may participate. We will include How-To instructions and all the supplies needed to construct “fits” in a “Fit Kit”. Lastly, there is no large time commitment for this opportunity, it could be completed in one day, over a weekend or over the span of a few days or weeks. 
 
Hours per week: Flexible 
 
What is TJC? 

  • TJC advocates for Tennessee’s most vulnerable families and children, so that all Tennesseans can enjoy the dignity, security and opportunity that is every person’s right.
  • TJC’s skilled legal and policy advocacy improves the lives of tens of thousands of Tennesseans every year, from infants with special health care needs to frail seniors struggling to maintain their independence.
  • Since opening our doors in 1996, TJC has used lawsuits, legislation and coalition building to overcome injustice, winning $2 billion in health care and hundreds of millions in financial and nutrition assistance for Tennesseans.
  • TJC’s work is grounded in, and inspired by, the daily representation of individual families from Memphis to Mountain City. Our advocacy agenda is informed by our work with Tennesseans who battle injustice in their lives and in the lives of those they love.
