A Sustainability Film Series Event
When
DOLORES
Rebel. Activist. Feminist. Mother.
RSVP to our free screening
Join Arizona Environment, the School Garden Workshop, the Center for Regional Food Studies, and The Loft Cinema for an evening exploring justice, agricultural labor rights, and food systems here in the Southwest.
Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century—and she continues the fight to this day, at 87. With intimate and unprecedented access to this intensely private mother to eleven, the film reveals the raw, personal stakes involved in committing one’s life to social change.
