Women's History Month

March is Women’s History Month and we have a lot to look back on to appreciate the hard work of the trailblazing women who helped us get where we are.

Doloras Huerta is an extraordinary individual who pushed through political, workplace, and family problems as she organized farm workers in California. Dolores was the creator of the famous saying “Si, se puede”, which Barack Obama repurposed in english for his 2008 campaign as Yes We Can.

If we have piqued your interest about Dolores Huerta, there are countless books, websites, and documentaries that look at how she was able to help farm workers stand up for their needs, and the struggles our movement faced. A documentary called Dolores that you can find on Prime Video, features Dolores herself and shares her story from the start, to when she was passed over for the leadership position many felt she deserved.
