Happy Birthday Dolores!


















Dolores Huerta is one of the founders (along with Cesar Chavez) of the United Farm Workers, and she has fought for most of her life for La Causa.  She is an incredible human being, dedicated and devoted to her people and the rights of all people to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality.  

In the words of my dear Chavela Vargas, she is "muy mujer."

In her own words, 

"Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people."

"Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world."


Feliz cumpleanos, Dolores!  Gracias por todo lo que ha hecho.  

Si, se puede!
