EMPOWERING COMMUNITITES

At Public Thread, we prioritize living wages and human-centered practices in our manufacturing process. We invest in people. Whether they want to work in sewing, textiles, product design or learn more for a hobby. We offer opportunities for education, training, upskilling, cross training, and personal development. Why? Because when we are connected to something we care about it. We honor it. We protect it. When we understand how our products were made, and we know the people making our products we are linked and that helps build a more resilient, just and balanced economic system. 

By learning to sew, how to upcycle, how to bring products to market, ways to design, and an array of technical workshops and programs, we are offering resources and sharing tools with our community. Those individuals, companies, organizations or groups who want to learn about sewing, textiles, products and creativity to bring their ideas to life are the change agents we hope to support across our community. 

COLLABORATING FOR IMPACT

Our commitment to equity extends to our community partnerships. We intentionally collaborate with BIPOC communities, immigrant and refugee networks, and nonprofit organizations to create opportunities for all. By working together with a diverse range of partners, we amplify our impact and seek deeper, systemic change of the underlying conditions in which we work.. Whether it's through workshops, new education programs, revenue sharing opportunities, helping bring your ideas to life, and more, we strive to build on-ramps for individuals who have systematically been underserved or left out of economic development initiatives.
