When Anzaldúa describes her language as “illegitimate,” she is describing a high-stress environment. How might “silencing” a student’s home language function as an epigenetic event?
Anzaldúa writes: “I am my language. Until I can take pride in my language, I cannot take pride in myself.”
Reflection Question: How does her “embodied” experience of being told her tongue is “wild” affect her perception of the world? Using the Phenomenological lens, explain how her reality is shaped by these specific interactions.
Our objective today is to analyze how Gloria Anzaldúa’s lived experience of linguistic identity (Phenomenology) impacts the biological and cognitive self (Epigenetics), and to reflect on how your own literacy journey shapes your “internal landscape.” Please comment on a passage where a passage where Anzaldúa describes a physical sensation or a specific memory of being silenced (e.g., the dentist scene or the “reprimand” from her mother).
I think we need to explicitly say “You can Help” or similar somewhere… Do people think “Join the Grocery Card Campaign” is grabby enough when it’s not a familiar name/term??
The current immigration crack-down is making many of our immigrant neighbors food insecure: lost paychecks from loved ones detained or deported, fearful to go shopping, avoiding food aid they’re eligible for.
If we don’t use a background image that will give the design more space (and more white space between elements) so maybe we could have large enough to be readable logos, but I’m not sure that’s good or important here (certainly in general we would use logos, but…)
Was there any technical problem using the old one, or did you like this one better?
Even if we switch to this one (I do kind of like the box of food, and showing big variety, vs. the grocery bag), the stars are a little distracting to me.
From social feeds to streaming platforms, brands are constantly shaping perceptions through repeated exposure, subtle messaging, and targeted content. Digital marketing has amplified this effect-one well-crafted campaign can reach millions instantly, but more importantly, it can be personalized to match individual interests, behaviors, and even emotions. This makes advertising feel less intrusive and more relevant, which increases its impact on decision-making. What’s interesting is that influence doesn’t always come from direct persuasion. Often, it works through familiarity, social proof, and storytelling-people start to trust what they see often or what others seem to approve of. Over time, this shapes preferences, opinions, and even habits without people fully realizing it. As digital strategies continue to evolve, understanding how and why certain campaigns work becomes essential, not just for marketers but for anyone trying to navigate the online space. In that sense, platforms like aff catalog can be useful for exploring how different advertising approaches are structured and how they influence audiences across industries, giving a clearer picture of what drives real engagement.
What setting details do you notice? What interesting contrasts do you find in this paragraph? How do these setting details connect to our discussion of social class?
Maybe instead of the word apparently- you could say the fact that (insert) has alway startled me. Because everyone kind of knows this, so apparently doesn’t really fit.
For the most part, they’re using their smart phones, which are just fine for most purposes… but when Rebecca volunteered to shoot it for us, in addition to our regulars, we were thrilled to take her up on it!
Unlike the first 3 acts, I’m purposely not embedding YouTube media players with the interviews; I want people to go to the respective NowComment pages to also see the photos and transcript and be able to comments.

Probably the font size and spacing in relation to adjoining blocks could be improved slightly if easy.
I was trying to keep as close as possible to Jen’s design, you should use that or your own judgment rather than anything I did here!

I kept some explanation but tried to trim it down… better? I think font can be further reduced.
Shorter wording maybe:
“Cards don’t show a dollar value, so we need…”
Current text (Lisa thinks too long) is:

Trying to avoid repeating forms of word “organize”, probably there’s a better way to say this!

What does this text have to say about how social class impacts the opportunities and expectations for individuals living within that system?

“Often with protests and activist events we talk about messaging, turnout and media coverage. But what about the impact on the people involved?”

Wash all our heartaches away
We’re part of the fire that is burning
And from the ashes we can build another day.”
