My kids have lived experiences that could have never been duplicated otherwise. That's one thing about people who get involved in activism, you live so many experiences that otherwise they wouldn't be there. This is why peoples' lives are so enriched.
Dolores Huerta
You could really belong to a group of people and with other people, you could really make some significant changes - through the electoral process, of course, by registering people to vote, and by supporting good people who were running for office. For me, it was like I had found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Dolores Huerta
We can't let people drive wedges between us... because there's only one human race.
Dolores Huerta
Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.

Of course, we have leaders in the African American community as well that we've all worked with. One of the great rewards of being an activist is that you get to meet all these wonderful people. And there are many unsung heroes. There are so many out there that are good people that are working hard.
Dolores Huerta
Why is it that farmworkers feed the nation but they can't get food stamps?
Dolores Huerta
My mother was a dominant force in our family. And that was great for me as a young woman, because I never saw that women had to be dominated by men.
Dolores Huerta
My son, Emilio Huerta, is running for congress. He was a young man who was marching and picketing.
Dolores Huerta
A women's place in history has never been given the attention that it needs to be given, and that's why we have a lot of the misogyny in our society today.
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
Once I learned about grassroots organizing, I got so enamored with it because I thought 'Wow this is the way you do it!'
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
People can take power over their communities and over their lives. Some people don't realize they can do that. They think 'It's OK for other people, but I myself can't do it.' Hopefully, that will come out of the film.
Dolores Huerta
Giving kids clothes and food is one thing, but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.
Dolores Huerta
