I watched this video about women farm workers with a lot of pride and interest. They have been organizing against the sexual harassment a seventeen year old girl was subjected to and the retaliation experienced by those organizing against the abuse. The video is of these organizers turning in a petition signed by over 16,000 people showing support for the workers.

It made me especially think of my co-blogger Mala’s many writings about the subject of the mamihood and organizing. Mami’s are organizing against the same violence and horror that Feminists With A Big F are organizing against–sexual violence, gender discrimination, etc–but we are doing it with a baby asleep on our shoulder and in Spanish. And without all the resources that Feminists With A Big F have.

These women are a tremendous inspiration–and deserve our continued support!
