“Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” Rest in power, Dolores Huerta. She personified true leadership and moral authority. She will be greatly missed.

Devastating news. 💔 Dolores Huerta was the backbone of the American labor movement, and I hope history remembers her that way. She co-founded the United Farm Workers, fought tirelessly for working people, and gave us the rallying cry “Sí, se puede!” Rest in power, Dolores Huerta. 🕊️
