It's important to realize that we all need to work together. With Weaving Movements, we are all interdependent and we all have to work together. If we could just realize that and understand that, we'll keep our country strong.

More quotes by Dolores Huerta
We just have to convince other people that they have power. This is what they can do by participating to make change, not only in their community, but many times changing in their own lives. Once they participate, they get their sense of power.
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
As organizations, we have to find ways to create more opportunities, especially for our young people. A lot of corporations, they have to make opportunities for young people - create internships, for example, even if it's only half-time.
Dolores Huerta
In fact, the corporations are driving out the competition and it is not getting better, especially when they are not paying income taxes. Thank goodness for the social media out there, because we sure can't count on the corporate media to get the word out.
Dolores Huerta
My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.
Dolores Huerta
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
Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk.
Dolores Huerta
We can't let people drive wedges between us... because there's only one human race.
Dolores Huerta
My son, Emilio Huerta, is running for congress. He was a young man who was marching and picketing.
Dolores Huerta
I call myself an addicted organizer.
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
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
Sometimes, we have to promote ourselves. Just go out and be very active about trying to find an opportunity.
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
Honor the hands that harvest your crops.
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 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
Don't be a marshmallow. Walk the street with us into history. Get off the sidewalk. Stop being vegetables. Work for Justice. Viva the boycott!
Dolores Huerta
Exercise your right to vote.
