Voz Feminista

Bienvenido to my blog. I'm Joselyn, a Latina living in Chicago, soon to be studying under the SoCal sun. I hope to use this space as a platform to bring #LatinaFeminism to the light for other Latinas and those searching to learn more. All are welcome!

Waiter asked Latina women for “proof of residency” before taking their order

A waiter at a Southern California restaurant has been fired after asking a group of Latina women to provide “proof of residency” before taking their drink order, the Washington Post reported Sunday. 

On March 11, Diana Carrillo visited Saint Marc restaurant in Huntington Beach, California, with her sister and two friends. 

In a subsequent Facebook post, she recalled that the waiter had explained, “Yeah, I need to make sure you’re from here before I serve you.” Read more. (3/19/2017 12:14 PM)

White Girl,

by 3 Latinx sisters: Jacquelyn Aguilera is one of them

[weavemama]

A very violent act of misogyny took place in Guatemala, and unfortunately, the girls are still not safe. The surviving girls were sent to another facilities, and their families still want absolutely no contact with them. Hate against women and girls can lead death, which is why it’s important to tackle the issues of misogyny. 

Orphan outreach is a donation organization dedicated to helping the victims. You can donate here.

“So much of the resistance against meal programs is from the ongoing misconception that parents are just lazy and want handouts. As opposed to the reality that many are working multiple jobs to get by and don’t have time to cook and/or are struggling to put healthy food on the table. Typical lack of empathy towards poor people..” How about the Trump Administration stop eating free food paid by our taxes. How about we use that money to feed the kids. I keep thinking things can’t get worse, but it does, and I’m proven wrong every time. *Shoutout to the Black Panther Party for pioneering free breakfast for kids. Also black folks have created many programs, and solutions to combat poverty, hunger and homelessness for decades. Poverty has played a major role in the civil rights movements, and liberation movements. They pioneered a lot of these programs for the poor.

There's A Bigger Story Behind The Viral Tweets About Missing Black And Latinx Teens In DC

“How often do you see an Amber alert for a missing black or brown kid?”

our phones would be lighting up with alerts if we implement a robust system for finding our black and brown babies. it would have to filter out these antiblack, antibrown agents that show little to no care or expetise when handling these cases.
