Dolores Huerta

When first going to the Dolores Huerta talk I didn't really know what to expect. I believed it was going to be a boring talk about her and how she felt about certain situations about the injustice in the world. Being welcomed in by a culture dance really brought the spirit up in the theatre and really helped kick off her speech with positive energy. Her speech was very powerful and outspoken. Something that I really gained from it was the ability to make a change. Everyone in life wants some aspect of change to make it better, to have equality upon all races, religious backgrounds, ethnicity, gender and many other things. In order for that to happen you have to do something about it, you cant expect everyone to do the work for you , or nothing will change. That is one thing Dolores Huerta was very passionate about, she did whatever she needed to do to make something work. She went to jail about 10 times and even took her kids with her sometimes. One question she asked all of us were who voted for the elections in 2012. Majority of the crowd raced their hand. The second question was who helped someone be able to vote fort he elections in 2012, about 15 people raised their hand. She began to explain how this was one prime example of making a change. Everyone should have a voice if they live here. So having to help someone vote, by going door to door and signing people up will help make a change in the world because people are able to voice their opinions about situations. Dolores Huerta is a activist, in the need justice for everyone. One specific aspect she is focused are illegal immigrants. Helping them become citizens and have the ability to have benefits like everyone else who lives in the country. At the end of the speech I was glad that I attended such an aspiring event. To hear someones struggle in life just to help others that she doesn't even know, shows the love and care that she has for people and to try and teach us that its okay to help others because in order to fix something you have to do something about it.
