The rallying cry that transformed civil rights activism
In short: Dolores Huerta reflects on her life's work as a civil rights activist, sharing how to overcome apathy and discover personal power through collective action.
Huerta explores the transition from personal apathy to active involvement, rooted in the rallying cry "Sí, se puede!" (Yes, we can!) which she coined in the 1970s. Her talk serves as a guide for anyone seeking to find their own power by using their voice to demand justice and spark social movements.
A lifelong activist with over 60 years of experience, Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers union in 1962. Her career highlights include four decades as vice president of the union and the 2002 establishment of the Dolores Huerta Foundation to influence legislation and defend civil rights.
