Latina Mami

Latina Mami Latina Mamis all over Latina Mami served over 1400 women a year by 2008 and has always been led by the women it served.

We are a collective of Latina mothers, working on a variety of child advocacy, reproductive justice and disability and racial justice issues for ourselves and our children.We understand that children and families can only benefit when they have healthy, involved, and informed mothers. Our story is not unique in that we organize ourselves and mamis and families much like women around the world are

doing globally: on a local level, using our native knowledge, and in ways that are familiar to us. While we acknowledge that some partnerships with mainstream organizations are necessary, we do not wish to replicate their structures within our organization. We first began in 2000 in Texas, and were founded by a 25-year old new Latina mother who was not able to find services for herself outside the social service-based model. We now have chapters in Texas, Northern and Southern California, and emerging chapters in Wisconsin. Latina Mami has been recognized for its grassroots efforts by progressive foundations, Latina Magazine, Univision, and even written about in academic feminist journals. Visit www.latinamami.org or email [email protected] for more information on how you can form a chapter or affiliate in your area.
