This Labor Day, we honor the bad ass Latinas who organized workers, led strikes and demanded dignity when their voices were rarely recognized in American labor history.

Their work continues wherever Latinas demand safety, fair pay, dignity and a voice.

Who is a Latina labor leader whose story deserves to be celebrated? Add her name below.

Today is the International Day of Indigenous Women.

The date is not arbitrary. On September 5, 1782, Bartolina Sisa, the Aymara leader who helped lead the siege of La Paz against Spanish colonial rule, was executed for it.

Two hundred and forty-four years later we are still naming the women the record tried to close over.

Swipe for a few of them: Dr. Myrna Cunningham Kain. Nemonte Nenquimo. Rigoberta Menchú Tum. Sônia Guajajara. And Comandanta Ramona, who wore the pasamontañas and made a whole country listen.

Tag an Indigenous woman whose work you follow. We will keep the list going in the comments.

She was an ally and collaborator to us.

Her work was intersectional for ALL women. She acknowledged the Latino community, especially the experiences of U.S. Latinas. She was long time friends with Dolores Huerta and others in the fight for visibility of injustices.
