The film, directed by San Francisco\u2019s Peter Bratt (who also directed the 2009 film \u201cLa Mission\u201d), spotlights the Mexican-American activist, whose story has long been overshadowed by her contemporary and fellow activist Cesar Chavez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a discovery process for me personally, learning about all that she did,\u201d said Bratt, who was traveling through the Bay Area with Huerta on Sept. 6 to promote the new film. \u201cI had been personally inspired by her and Cesar and their work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the actual idea for the film was the brainchild of Carlos Santana. Santana phoned Bratt about five years ago with the idea of making a movie about Huerta\u2019s lifeswork.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dolores_01web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-35533\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dolores_01web.jpg?resize=400%2C593&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dolores_01web.jpg?w=864&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dolores_01web.jpg?resize=600%2C890&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dolores_01web.jpg?resize=169%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 169w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dolores_01web.jpg?resize=768%2C1139&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Dolores_01web.jpg?resize=324%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a>\u201c\u2018Peter, we need to make this film,\u2019\u201d Bratt remembered Santana telling him. \u201cHe put a stake in the ground and he said, \u2018Let\u2019s go, let\u2019s do this now.\u2019 And that really set the ball rolling so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huertas\u2019 career in activism began in the small northern California town of Stockton in 1955, when she co-founded the city\u2019s local chapter of the Community Service Organization. But the seed of activism had been planted long before that.<\/p>\n<p>Born on April 10, 1930 in Dawson, New Mexico, Huerta was taught to serve and lead early on by her parents, who were also community activists. Her father, Juan Fernandez, was a farmworker and union activist who eventually became state assemblyman. Her mother, Alicia Chavez, was also involved in civic organizations, and is Huerta\u2019s biggest inspiration in life.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe always told me not to be afraid to speak out if I was thinking of something\u2014that I shouldn\u2019t keep that thought to myself, that I should feel confident, that I should be able to express it, even if sometimes you say the wrong thing,\u201d Huerta told El Tecolote. \u201cShe was always pushing me out there to be in the public eye.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huerta\u2019s mother, who was also a waitress and cannery worker, eventually bought a small hotel and restaurant. Her compassionate treatment of farmworkers is what inspired Huerta to become a civil rights leader herself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In 1962, Huerta along side of Cesar Chavez, co-founded the United Farm Workers (UFW) to advocate and organize the thousands of disenfranchised farmworkers in California\u2019s Central Valley. To this day UFW serves as a labor union with a mission to facilitate and ensure equality for marginalized communities in 10 states.<\/p>\n<p>In 1965, UFW, with Chavez and Huerta in charge, joined forces with the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee in Delano, CA, to strike against the table grape growers in the area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">[su_box title=&#8221;Video by Alejandro Galicia-Diaz&#8221;][su_youtube url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4Ke9PW1CveI&amp;feature=youtu.be&#8221;] [\/su_box]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main thing about the Delano grape strike that people don\u2019t know is that before that strike took place, we had been organizing there in the Central Valley for three years\u2014setting up committees, doing house meetings, getting people informed, letting them know that they could again have the power to change their lives,\u201d Huerta said.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strike gained national attention and eventually ended five years later, after consumer boycotts, nonviolent resistance and marches. By the end, the table grape growers and and UFW signed their first union contract, granting farm workers benefits and better pay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt took a lot of organizing to sustain that strike for five years,\u201d said Huerta. \u201cWe never would have won had it not been for the American public. Many people who came out there and didn\u2019t buy grapes, and picketed their local stores. They\u2019re the ones who really made it happen. We probably could\u2019ve been on strike for 10 years and we never would\u2019ve won. It was only with the help of the American public.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from strikes, Huerta\u2019s political activism has also led to the passing of state and federal legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can go to the DMV and you can take your driver\u2019s test in Spanish or Mandarin, and that\u2019s because of some of the work that she did,\u201d Bratt said of Huerta. \u201cSo she\u2019s been behind many laws in California that eventually became national laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huerta also coined the famous phrase, \u201cSi se puede\u201d\u2014which Barack Obama translated and used during his 2008 presidential campaign. She explained that the phrase was actually a \u00a0spontaneous reaction during Chavez\u2019s 25-day fast in Arizona in 1972.<\/p>\n<p>Her activism has come at some cost though.<\/p>\n<p>In 1988, she was assaulted by San Francisco police officer Francis Achim outside of the St. Francis Hotel during a protest against then vice president George H. W. Bush, who was holding a $1,000-a-plate fundraiser there. Huerta, who was 58 at the time, was taken to San Francisco General Hospital where she was diagnosed with two broken ribs and a ruptured spleen, the result of Achim striking her with his baton.<\/p>\n<p>But Huerta recovered and persevered.<\/p>\n<p>She founded the Dolores Huerta Foundation in 2002, a community organization that continues to organize at a grassroots level in nine different communities. And for her work fighting in the trenches against inequality and discrimination, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the many accomplishments of her illustrious career, it\u2019s the actual organizing that Huerta is most proud of.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI want to be remembered as an organizer, as a facilitator\u2014maybe as a teacher, I was a teacher and teaching people how to organize.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDolores\u201d is now in theaters.
