Point blank: we need money. Lots and lots and lots of fucking money. Why? We need to get as many single mamis to the Allied Media Conference as possible. We can not have a conference without them there. But to give you a clue of how expensive it is to travel as a single mother: the cost of airplane tickets for kids is the same as it is for adults. So if a mami needs to bring herself and two kids to the conference, the cost of tickets alone can be upwards of 1200$ (3 tickets at 400$ a piece). And that doesn’t even get into the cost of food, a place to stay, etc etc etc.

Why do we need single mamis at this conference?

It’s funny you should ask. Mamis of color are leaders in creating media that services the communities most in need radical media justice. They’ve created zines, blog communities, news papers, radio shows. They write and speak with children on their hips, on their breasts, and with the most limited resources possible. They can make a meeting happen with three people in three different cities, one car, and an awesome white dude. They don’t leave their neighbors behind because it’s a car with four seats, they make more seats in the car.

This is leadership. Single mamis of color are the leaders of the media justice movement, and I really am not sure why or how we would have a conference if they weren’t there.

So we need money–lots and lots of money. And in return for your very generous and loving donation, these amazing women have put together an amazing CD and created some amazing products for you!

In the CD, you will hear the *amaaaaaaaaaaazing* baby bfp make her CD debut with the track: Cats. It is a worldwide hit, and not something that you could easily walk away from. It is WELL worth your million dollar donation–if I do say so myself. :p

And baby bfp is just the *beginning* of the goodness.

So dig deep into your pockets and spread the word. We need these mamis here, and as such, we need your help. SPREAD THE WORD. Demand people buy the CD’s. Refuse to free people’s pet rocks until they have donated.

And know that you have my lovethankslove from the bottom of my soul forever.
