Free Cross Stitch Pattern: “Say His Name – Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Free Him Now”

Stitching for Justice: Demand Freedom for Kilmar Abrego Garcia

In a system where injustice too often prevails, craftivism—the powerful blend of crafting and activism—gives us a way to fight back with creativity and determination. Today, we offer a free printable cross stitch pattern featuring the urgent demand:

“Say His Name – Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Free Him Now”

This pattern is more than just thread and fabric—it’s a call to action, a refusal to let Kilmar’s name be forgotten, and a demand for his immediate release from an unjust imprisonment.

The Injustice Against Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s case is a heartbreaking example of the failures of the U.S. justice system. A loving father and hardworking man, Kilmar was wrongfully ensnared in a legal nightmare, separated from his family, and left to suffer under harsh conditions—all while evidence of his wrongful detention continues to be ignored.

Despite clear grounds for his release, bureaucratic delays and political indifference have kept him locked away. The Trump administration’s cruel immigration policies and mass deportation machine played a direct role in Kilmar’s unjust detention. Now, with growing public pressure, we cannot stay silent while justice is delayed.

By stitching Kilmar’s name, we amplify his story, challenge systemic oppression, and demand accountability from those in power.
