Sonya Mendoza
Sonya Mendoza is originally from California where she surfed to school everyday. Coming to DC in 2001, she worked at Advocates for youth on the International Youth Leadership council, attended the 15th annual world AIDS conference in Bangkok, Thailand, lead a social justice trip to the southern parts of Brazil, and attended a forum on youth sexual health and reproductive rights in Brussels, Belgium. Oh yeah and she went to college too. Currently, Sonya is dividing her time between organizing various awesome events in DC and playing with her best kitty friend, stitch. If she had more free moments, Sonya would color her hair more and also hug more cats.

Jessica Hall
Jessica is a Pre-K school teacher, graduate student, thrift store aficionado, cyclist and amateur vegetable gardener. Jessica has been a participating member, in and out of the United States, in anarchist conferences, social justice and animal rights organizing, pride events, and youth empowerment projects. Jessica's traveling has consisted largely in English speaking countries, including Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, but looks forward to pushing more of her linguistic boundaries and comfort zones in the future. As for her own feminist practice, she draws largely from the incredible writers and activists whose analysis of power preceded and inspired her own, such as Audre Lorde. Audre's words mean more to Jessica than her bio itself, so she asked to finish with the following quote: "The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live, and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives."

Lindsey is a historical researcher in the exciting, fast-paced field of public health history. When she’s not poring over dusty old books or restoring centuries-old works of art at the Smithsonian, she enjoys supporting radical agendas of various sorts and developing her foreign language skills. After completing grad school with an MA in 20th century literature and theory, Lindsey moved to the District in 2005 to read more books and foster an appreciation for national monuments. She hopes to one day become a crossword tournament champion, while also working to sway the world a little more to the left. |
