Dolores Huerta is one of my heroes. When she said this quote, she was organizing farm workers in Arizona, who told her "no se puede" because of a law in the state that almost entirely banned migrate farm workers from unionizing. It's a pretty simple quote, but very powerful. Today, it's probably more associated with former president Obama, who used the English translation during his presidential campaign; however, this has been a common picket line chant during labor strikes since she said it in 1972 and the motto of the United Farm Workers of America
