So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.
I met Dolores Huerta in 2023. She was small in stature but made up for it in presence. I told her I was from Chicago and her eyes lit up, “I love Chicago organizers!” At the end of the night I watched her help the staff clean up: truly a woman of the people. I stand with her & the other survivors 💐
Brenda Gonzalez started the Tamarindo Podcast in 2016 because she wanted a casual, chisme-with-your-girlfriend space for Latina political commentary.
Nearly 10 years later, she's built retreats, workshops, a fitness practice — and a community that crosses borders.
Published this timely piece on navigating SA in labor organizing spaces. Shoutout to the campesinas that spoke to me about their experiences 💐
Uplifting Dolores’s words today from the podcast episode she was featured in this season. She is a woman of incredible strength and commitment—and the labor rights movement would not be what it is today without her contributions and advocacy.
