Abstract	This article explores the process and impact of women organizing for educational justice in Northern California by documenting the efforts of a committed group of mothers who sought to address the disproportionate underachievement of Latino and African American students within their city's high school. Using a combined methodology of ethnography and participatory action research, this article illustrates the power of converting racial and social identities into a political strategy while constructing new narratives of self.
