Fearless Womyn Fight for 15
On Thursday, March 12th, the Latino Cultural Center hosted its second Noche de Poetas (Poetry Night) of the Spring 2015 semester. We celebrated International Women’s Day in collaboration with our community partner: the Fight For 15 campaign. The night was full of emotionally charged stories and performances. The featured poet, a brave and inspirational womyn—Sonia Acuña—shared her story, struggles, and motivation to organize with the Fight For 15 campaign.
Many other womyn just like Sonia are fighting for fair wages and the right to form a union without retaliation in order to support their families and to cover basic needs like food, health care, rent and transportation. We want to recognize these fearless womyn!
