We will remember Dolores Huerta differently. From the first time we met her, to the words she shared and what she helped us believe.
What will stay with me is how she was always very generous with her time, often staying long after events concluded to connect with people when she visited Ventura County. She opened doors, seats, and conversations for women, farm workers and young people to be a part of decisions including the importance of voting and organizing around the issues and values close to us. She would often rally by saying, “Who has the power?…We got the power!….What kind of power? …People Power!” This is how I will remember her.
Dolores Huerta will forever be an icon, and a force we were fortunate to meet in our lifetime.
