¡Ya Basta! is a bilingual, 20-page educational comic written for agricultural growers, supervisors, workers and their families to prevent sexual assault and harassment in the workplace. In Washington State, migrant women of color are especially vulnerable. In late 2020, a team from the Pacific Northwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center's Prevent Sexual Harrassment in Agriculture program sought to work with a comic artist to create additional training material. Comics are narrative-based, fun, easier to digest, and portable - an important consideration since many workers expressed a desire to bring the educational materials home. I worked alongside public health and labor academics, organizations against domestic violence and impacted migrant communities, who were consulted at every step of the way - including looking over my art! Muchas gracias a todas!
The final product was locally printed on a risograph printer at Paper Press Punch. The cover is a soft Orchid & Bright Red, with the inside pages a stark Black & Bright Red like PNASHC's banana-inspired logo.
I talk about the process of making this comic over at the Short Run Slideshow Series. Thanks to Kelly Froh and Mita Mahato for including me in this digital show, as well as Lauren, Megan and Meredith for being endless inspirations!
