I have to admit when I first saw the prompt for this week’s blog to implement by one ecofeminist action I was a bit overwhelmed. So many ideas were running through my head on what I could do, how I can make this action come to life and be successful. I knew it might be more difficult now than a few months ago to create a successful activist action. The pandemic the world is going through right now is affecting everyone in so many different ways. The COV-ID 19 Virus has basically flipped our world upside down. So many innocent lives are being taken due to this virus, people are losing loved ones. Not only that I read that around 16 million people have lost their jobs due to the virus, therefore they are losing income and money they need to support themselves and their families. Kids are out of school, creating strenuous conditions for mothers especially who would usually rely on school time to get things done or go to work and make money. I have thought about my potential idea for ecofeminist action for days now. I found the article, “13 simple ways to support feminist activism this internation women’s day” quite helpful. The first step is an important one and helps get your thoughts flowing, “identify what gets your blood boiling.” It made me more upset than anything to learn that many kids were going hungry and not able to get a nutritious breakfast or lunch because they would usually rely on their meals at school to fill their bellies. It made me particularly upset knowing this because kids can not really fend for themselves, they rely on adults to take care of them. There were so many things I wanted to do but in this article it states, “knowing you can’t do everything is a crucial part of effective activism… Remember concentrating on one topic doesn’t mean you don’t care about the others, it just means you’ve made a thoughtful decision about where to expend your energy.” This quote specifically gave me confidence and made me feel better knowing I am only one person therefore it would be difficult to cover all the topics I care for. After this I knew I wanted to focus on helping out families with kids who are still in grade school, preschool- 12th grade. I knew it would be specifically important to help out those families with single mothers who are the sole providers of their children.
Now that I have my idea in place I knew I had to create a plan of action. I did my research and found out that an organization in my town called, “WellSpring” which is a multi-service center in my town, was providing breakfast and lunches for the families in need. I knew reaching out to WellSpring would be a great start to my action. This organization not only provides a food pantry to those in need, but clothes, appliances, education and many other services. I know volunteering to help out at Wellspring would be a good start to my plan to help create a solution for my idea. I am now focusing on step 4- having conversations. I know it would be a great idea to get others involved with my plan of action. I have worked at a local deli inside a convenience store for almost five years now. I work with mostly women and over this semester I have talked to them a lot about my ecofeminism class and all I have been learning. They always seemed very intrigued so I knew they would want to help out as much as they could during this tough time. We are very grateful and fortunate to still have our jobs because we work at a convenience store so we want to help out those families who are not working or are having trouble feeding themselves and their children. A few of my coworkers have agreed to help me in this plan of action in order to help donate food and clothes to Wellspring. There is still a lot of work to be done as we go through this extremely difficult time, but I am very confident that I will be able to have a successful ecofeminist action by the end of this semester!
Hi Allie!
Unfortunately, you’re right. With the COVID-19 virus spreading it is so hard to take any sort of activist position because who is around to listen? However, I like that you have taken this and turned it into something realistic and feasible. I think the plan you have made will help so many and will inspire others to want to help out in the same ways. I can’t help but think about how we learned about the pressure women face to provide for their families. I decided on my plan to stop using single-use plastic to help save the environment, so women don’t face the pressures and oppression from environmental degradation. Your plan I believe would help women so much as well as these young children who as much as I am sure they want to help their parents, cannot. Pressures are likely extremely high in some areas for women when it comes to providing for their families if these women are in jobs that are deemed “non-essential.” With money being tight and some families having more than one child as well as a male figure who likely needs to eat as well, I can only imagine how tough it must be. I can’t imagine how much worse it might be for families without that male figure meaning single moms who might not be working and trying to provide for their children. I love that you were able to make connections with a company who specifically wants to take part in this action. I also love that you have recruited others who seem like they want to help just as much. Even though you’re not starting a movement and there is no protest happening, I still feel as if you’re playing the role of an ecofeminist activist. Great work on making this plan! You’ll be helping so many people!
Hey Allie,
I have to say I think that this plan and your idea is very inspiring. It’s true so many children within the U.S. are going without a meal now since schools have closed and it is unfair that not only they have to stress over not getting sick, but also where they will receive their meals. Thus, I think volunteering is a great idea. If possible maybe you could document how much food and clothing is donated throughout this project, as well as how many other individuals you can incorporate. Maybe by telling the women within your work place they can also spread the word within their own families as well. I can only image how scary this time is for low-income families that may live far from the local grocery story and having no one to leave their children with while they shop to decrease exposure to the virus. Over all great idea and I can’t wait to hear about all you are able to donate. Good Luck!
Allie,
great job and way to take initiative! Your post made me so happy, we need more people giving back to the disfranchised and those in need! Since the outbreak of COVID-19, systems are continuously failing and were apparently unprepared for such a hit. I mean, who would think to prepare for something like this? It’s so unreal. I know an organization that is doing something similar to what you’re looking into, and it’s a nonprofit organization that I have volunteered for many times in the past. The organization is called the West End House Boys & Girls Club. It’s located in Allston, MA. They have organized many programs to make sure children are being fed, mentally nurtured, and educated during these trying times. In fact, they even have “weekly hang-outs” via ZOOM! It’s such an inspiring initiative to see. In dark times such as these, seeing the best in the people of our communities is the kind of comfort everyone can benefit from. Keep on fighting the good fight.
Best,
Celine
