Dolores Huerta is an American labor leader and activist whose work on behalf of migrant farmworkers led to the establishment of the United Farm Workers of America. She's advocated not only for farmworkers, but also for immigrants and women in the United States. She was a female voice in the traditionally male-dominated farm workers’ movement. Yet often Huerta’s name and impact are overlooked, including the misattribution of her coined phrase, “Yes, we can!/Si, se puede!” to other historical figures. When most women were still expected to play primarily domestic roles, Huerta introduced new models of womanhood as an energetic picket captain, persuasive lobbyist and unyielding negotiator.

Look at the visuals around you at work, in your classrooms, in your neighborhood, in the magazines and books you read... do you see BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) represented in them? If you don’t, seek representational justice. Make sure that you and your kids see themselves and others in all walks of life.
Why is it important? What we see consistently around us becomes our unconscious bias and our truth.
A comment like, “Wow, your English is so good!” to a person of color or of a different ethnic group may seem like a compliment but under the surface it’s truly an insult... a microaggression. It implies that they wouldn’t speak English well because of their color or ethnic background and more than that, it says that they’re different in a bad way and don’t belong.
EDUCATORS: 🙏 Make understanding microaggressions part of your SEL curriculum and educator PD. Embrace and celebrate diversity!
Non-verbal microaggressions are snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership.
Learn how to recognize implicit bias in yourself and others. Do the work.
What you permit, you promote. What you allow, you encourage. What you condone, you own.
Systemic racism, while baked into the systems and institutions that govern daily life, are nonetheless created by individuals. To fight systemic racism we must take responsibility for the role we play in these systems.
