Dolores Huerta - Organizing for Justice

Dolores Huerta, now 93 and still going strong, is a genuine living legend, one of the most influential labor activists in U.S. history as well as a foundational leader of the Chicano civil rights movement. Huerta’s 7 decades of activism have included co-founding the world-renowned United Farm Workers’ Union with César Chávez, leading major strikes and consumer boycotts, negotiating contracts, and tirelessly advocating for safer working conditions (including the elimination of harmful pesticides) and for unemployment and healthcare benefits for agricultural workers. Today she will draw from her decades of experience to share her thoughts on the critical importance of organizing unions in all sectors of the economy to fight for a fairer society, and on how to build more unity between labor, social, racial, gender, and climate justice movements.

Dolores Huerta is an absolute legend. Every school should have labor studies department. So many people don't know how we've gotten the rights we have. They think businesses up and changed their practices for the better with a change of heart after a long talking to. Everyone needs to learn how we changed things, what was done to the people who tried, and how we've won the things we have won and the lost the things we have lost. Empowerment is built by labor studies. Also, look up Dolores Huerta or check out Mission to Microchip by Fred Glass.
