Activism Log 5
Activism:
There was not much activity this week with our project; it happened to be the week we got back from Spring Break so after completing our project we took a break. There was not much contact with our community partner, Mariana, either. As a group, we did discuss possible dates to submit the verification worksheets to Mariana as well. Jessica and I assisted with cookie sales outside of Wal-Mart as well which was fun!
Reflection:
As I look back at the course of the project and the times we met with the girls, rarely did I see fathers picking up their daughters. In Women’s lives it states, “More women than men make up the working poor, and women of color are more likely to be poor compared to white women” (Women’s lives 311). I say this because many of the families represented were minority. Also, this backs up what I said before about the mothers being just about the only ones picking up their daughters. Parental roles have also shifted with women being the breadwinners in the home.
Reciprocity:
As I said before, this week was pretty non eventful but cookie sales was a joy!
