Legendary Activist Dolores Huerta Celebrates 80th Birthday with Call for "Weaving Movements Together"
The legendary activist Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America with Cesar Chávez, is celebrating her eightieth birthday this year. A veteran of the labor, civil rights, immigrant rights, and feminist movements in this country, she was instrumental in passing the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Bill, which resulted in the legalization of 1.3 million farm workers. To celebrate her birthday, Huerta is holding a benefit concert in Los Angeles Friday with guests including the guitarist Carlos Santana and Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine. Calling the event "Weaving Movements Together," Huerta says she wants to join up immigrant rights, LGBT, feminist, environmental and labor activists. Ref. Source 5

She is a legend in the labor movement, has praised Hugo Chavez and Cuba, and has even said Republicans "hate Latinos" to an audience of school children. She has also denounced capitalism and says the suitable alternative is, of course, socialism! Your taxpayer dollars are paying her salary. Glenn has more on radio today. Ref. Source 8
