Down To Earth

Friday Quote: Dolores Huerta

Dolores Huerta in a 2005 interview with Fight Back magazine when asked about her work with young people and the commitment to the movement: 

I think that young people, once they understand what is happening, then they do want to do something. I think where we fall short is that we don’t have anything that tells them what to do, we don’t have anything to get them involved. That’s why the organizing that we [the Dolores Huerta Foundation] are doing is basically creating a vehicle for people to take action for positive change.

We are in such dire straits in our country right now, we are at a crossroads with the people who are in power right now, we all have to think, “Well wait a moment, I’m just going to get a minimal salary, or get just enough to live on, and spend my time to just do this organizing that needs to be done, this organizing to educate the public.”
