Abstract
Nearly three decades after the implementation of structural adjustment programmes, there are rapidly growing social and economic inequalities in the Caribbean, a situation further aggravated in Guyana by a divided and highly racialized political landscape. This essay looks at how Red Thread, a Guyanese women's organization, draws on women's caring work to ground various interventions that contest the status quo and span traditional racialized and spatialized divisions in the country. Beginning with an account of feminist rearticulations of social reproduction as critical feminist praxis, the essay grounds this conceptual frame in a discussion of the January 2005 floods that devastated Guyana's coastal communities and affected some 40 per cent of the population. It focuses specifically on how Red Thread organized with grassroots women to challenge official narratives of the floods, to make women's work visible and to come up with a list of demands that brought women together across several communities. It concludes with a discussion of the effects of the mobilization, and how it demonstrates a commitment to engaging women as a diverse collectivity through working out rather than assuming a politics of connection and affiliation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
