Wikipedia tells us this term was coined in 2003 by writer Betsy Greer who joined the words 'craft' and 'activism' together.
The word activism sounds fierce, but in this instance it's activism with a heart. People helping people through their crafting. Using craft in unique ways to make a point, to help other people, to lend support, to start the wave of change. To help without stamping feet, raising voices or creating a fuss.
Sarah Corbett, in her book How to be a Craftivist - The art of gentle protest writes about how she has become a gentle craftivist.
