❤️❤️Wish our Book Co-Editor Auntie Mai-Linh luck as she prepares to move her family, life and sewing machine across the country!❤️❤️

"I’ve been psychologically preparing myself to pack away my sewing machine so I can move cross-country. (Also, because I’m exhausted, after sewing 4000 masks and co-editing the Auntie Sewing Squad book.) Anyway, I thought today would be the day. But then, the kid ASKS IF WE CAN SEW MASKS together. I of course say yes. While cutting out his mask, he says, “Mama, I want to sew with you for 800 years.”"

🔥YAY AUNTIE CHRISTINA WHO SEWED THESE 20 MASKS

🔥YAY AUNTIE CHRISTINA WHO SEWED THESE 20 MASKS FOR AUNTIE EMILY'S ASK FOR THE LATINA CENTER🔥

"The Latina Center mission is to improve the quality of life and health of the Latino community by providing leadership and personal development opportunities for all Latinos. We believe in our community and their ability to make change. Here at the Latina Center, we develop strong leadership, one person at a time. We believe that in order to build strong and healthy communities, we must develop and empower immigrant women to advocate for themselves, their families, and community. Core to all programs, is a peer to peer leadership development model starts with the self.

The Latina Center empowers local Latinas to identify important health issues in their community and enhances their own abilities to address these health issues with concrete solutions based on the strengths of their communities. The Latina Center’s programs are offered in Spanish and include women and their families from both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.“

⛑❤️🧤On August 26, 2020, Auntie Adriana Ca

⛑❤️🧤On August 26, 2020, Auntie Adriana Camarena on behalf of Aunties Sewing Squad, and in the company of her Mayan pals, Tíos José Góngora Pat and Carlos Poot Pat of justice4luis.org, packed a U-Haul with and delivered 34560 fl.oz (2253 lbs) of bottled water to the Petaluma People's Resource Center for essential farmworkers evacuated to Petaluma due to NORCAL fires. In the second leg of that trip they delivered 427 expertly Auntie-made masks to Corazon Healdsburg, an organization serving essential farmworks in the fire zone further north. The Aunties also sent by mail an additional 500+ handmade masks by mail plus a load of N95 masks.

Auntie Adriana says, "For me, to be an auntie is the opportunity to step in within my range of possibilities to fill a gap in a chain of care. It might mean pledging and making two dozen masks to reach a collective goal of a thousand or figuring out how to deliver a ton of water and hundreds of masks in a wildfire disaster zone in the middle of a global pandemic to support Latinx farmworkers, doubly and disproportionately impacted by these crises. And it's only possible by allowing each other Auntie to find their place, some providing the logistical wizardry that ensures that our individual contributions add up to effective, culturally competent, people-to-people emergency response services. Anarchy at it's absolute best."

⛑A message from our Care Auntie Puneet who has been in touch with her relatives in India:

“Dear Aunties,

You probably don’t need the New York Times to tell you that India is facing extreme sickness and death right now. It is in the throes of a second deadly wave of the Pandemic. My family, my friends, the newspapers, are telling me grim stories. I have friends and family sick and in the ICU, I know friends and family who have barely made it out of there, there is a senior extended family member on the ventilator, and many have not made it. My whatsapp feed has friends and cousins begging for hospital beds, oxygen supplies, and medications. I'm afraid to look at my phone feeling scared and helpless. But I'm also hearing stories about small non profits helping out, providing temporary beds, oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators, even wood to help cremate the dead. They are turning temples and parking lots into places where people can sit in their car and hook up to oxygen tanks till they find a hospital that will take them. And I feel by helping such efforts we can help the people in India who are really suffering.

This almost happened here to us, remember? How we nearly ran out of oxygen too. There are people, right now, at this very moment, gasping for breath. All they need is oxygen. There are other people, heroes, that are working around the clock to get them that. Please consider supporting. It could have so easily been us:

Thank you.
🙏🏽Puneet"

What do we do with all our scraps? And there are a LOT OF SCRAPS. Auntie Mai-Linh report this project from her neighbor...

"’I've been giving my fabric scraps to a neighbor. Bags and bags and bags of scraps. Wasn’t quite sure what she was doing with them, but today she sent me a photo...and says she is gifting this to me 😭😭💜💜"

This was quite tedious as the scraps were quite small!

🔥We were so happy to received this note of acknowledgement from California Institute for Women.🔥

"Making a large donation of 1300 beautiful, colorful fabric masks that were hand sewn by the lovely Monica Bullard and the ladies** of Auntie Sewing Squad. These masks are being distributed to the housing units for distribution to the ladies. A special thank you to Warden Houston for meeting with me personally and for accepting every single mask with a guarantee that they will get to the women right away. Also gracias to Pride In Truth for assisting with counting and delivery!
