Dolores Huerta: We continue in the fight

One of the voices that has accompanied us over the years and that we recognize in our series, “30 Years, 30 Voices,” as part of our celebrations for Línea Abierta’s 30th anniversary, is that of pioneering civil rights leader Dolores Huerta. She became a lifelong friend and ally in her fight for workers’ rights.

Dolores Huerta, along with Cesar Chávez, founded the National Farm Workers Association, now known as the United Farm Workers.

Dolores Huerta, a pioneering labor and civil rights leader, recalls the historic march that began in Delano, California, in 1965 during the grape strike and speaks about the original message of the long march.

In the face of current adversities, Dolores Huerta asserts that she continues the struggle today.

Dolores Huerta, who walked arm in arm with César Chávez, a tireless social activist and also a voter advocate, let’s listen to her, as she highlights the importance of these actions for the community.

Dolores Huerta believes that we are living, as in other times, a very dark period.

This report is part of our special 30th anniversary edition of our national program Línea Abierta, “30 Years, 30 Voices.” Dolores Huerta is one of those voices who also coined the slogan most associated with Chávez, “Yes, we can.”
