Repost from @mymisomayo "Si, se puede!" Happy 90th Birthday Dolores Huerta 🎂 Awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom🎖️by President Obama in 2012 for her work as a labor leader and activist, Huerta is the originator of that rallying cry and was the first Latina inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Along with Cesar Chavez, she organized non-violent strikes and boycotts to focus attention on the plight of migrant farm workers 🍇, and co-founded the first successful farmworkers' union in the US (now known as the United Farm Workers Union UFW). 🚜 . Listen on YouTube @cityartssf to her 4/3/20 convo with Alice Waters. . Stars in my eyes ... I met both of these remarkable women in SF this January when they cohosted the Good Food Awards - with Michael Pollan: Sweet Black Garlic Miso Mayo won a Pantry Award 🥇 . . . . . @doloreshuerta @alicelouisewaters @kitchensisters @goodfoodfdn #sisepuede #doloreshuerta #activism #laborleader #UFWF #cesarchavez #farmworkers #union #civilrights #socialchange #aflcio #grapeboycott #mymisomayo #socialjustice #pesticideFree #barackobama #medaloffreedom #latina #womens #halloffame #alicewaters #dhf #michaelpollan https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3UDkZgW8s/?igshid=10nniv1apkjsx
