Your recommendation for December 16, 2021 is...
"Sí, se puede!" -- "Yes, we can!" It's the rallying cry Dolores Huerta came up with as a young activist in the 1970s, and she's lived by it in her tireless pursuit of civil rights ever since. With her signature wit and humor, Huerta reflects on her life's work, offering inspiration for anybody trying to overcome apathy, get involved and find their own power.

Though I often credit college as being the place where I grew into my sociopolitical consciousness, my first exposure to activism was centered around farm worker rights and Dolores Huerta while I was still in high school. Many years later, I see Dolores' talk as a beautiful intervention and reminder of the sacrifices that are made in the name of a bigger cause – and encourage anyone who might feel the slightest bit defeated to watch.
