More quotes by Dolores Huerta
We know we only have about half of our population that's voting.
Dolores Huerta

When you have a conflict, that means that there are truths that have to be addressed on each side of the conflict. And when you have a conflict, then it's an educational process to try to resolve the conflict. And to resolve that, you have to get people on both sides of the conflict involved so that they can dialogue.
Dolores Huerta

Dolores Huerta
The first time when I was organizing, I went out and started knocking on doors to see if people were registered to vote. I was a door knocker. I didn't even have the confidence that I could register people, so I just was out there door knocking. That was my first experience.
Dolores Huerta
Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.
Dolores Huerta
Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk.
Dolores Huerta
When a group of people get together, it's collective power. You know that you're doing it for the good.
Dolores Huerta
The racist rhetoric from politicians is inspiring people to organize, as more people see what happens by not getting active.
Dolores Huerta
Going door to door and talking to people, convincing them to vote - this is what I call Organizing 101.

Dolores Huerta
If we don't have workers organized into labor unions, we're in great peril of losing our democracy.
Dolores Huerta
We must use our lives to make the world a better place to live, not just to acquire things. That is what we are put on the earth for.
Dolores Huerta
