DAY 6: WOMYN-FILLED

Prior to joining the action on the banks of the Rio Grande, we worked today with one of the local organizations promoting Humanitarian Rights of Migrants folks providing free food boxes for 32 families (every week) in Eagle Pass.

Assisting in sorting food into boxes, we worked along with womyn from Nicaragua, Michigan, and Mexico.

There was fresh vegetables, greens, canned foods, rice, bread, eggs, some frozen meat, coffee, drinks, donuts and other surplus sugar items. Not the most healthy but whatever was donated from the local stores, farmers, vendors and churches.

It was an amazingly fruitful and womyn-full day!

I realize I was expecting some kind of strong reaction one way or the other
