Aida Hurtado is a mentor and teacher to our Executive Director, @msladyjustice1 , and thus her work has shaped and influenced The Gathering for Justice and Justice League NYC in many ways. Chicana feminism, like radical black feminism, brought women of color out of the margins and gave language to the compounding systems of oppression women of color and queer women face. Voicing Chicana Feminisms takes that a step further by centering the lived experiences of young Chicana women in order to demonstrate how theory truly manifests. This #WomensHistoryMonth we want to honor the women fighting to be seen and heard every day across this country and there's few better ways to do so than through the stories of Chicana women. We encourage you to join us on social media and use the hashtag #RadicalReadz to share your thoughts
