Cesar Chavez has a compelling history of dedication and work to advance the condition of farm workers in America. Recently, Dolores Huerta, one of the original co-foundation of the United Farm Workers (UFW) spoke in Denver at Creating Change. The UFW has been fighting for equal rights for immigrant workers for over 40 years. What's even more interesting is that their fight for equality has also been consistently inclusive of the LGBT community. Equality is equality and they get it.
You can learn more about this amazing organization at their website. I think one of the stronger choices we have made as a movement is to start counting our allies and realizing that we truly are stronger, together.
