Congrats! I think it's important just to point out that another major activist and general awesome badass of the Latino labor movement was Dolores Huerta, who worked right alongside Chavez, co-organised the grape boycott, and is still going strong! She's such an important person for everyone to know!

It was an honor to receive this award along with some great members and leaders that helped lead us to the change we are creating.
Special thanks to Jaime (Jonny 5), Kenny O, and Stephen (Brer Rabbit) who are available for direction almost anytime we need them and even though their schedules are mad crazy, they show up to events and engage in the work and dialogue with Street Team Members! We are blessed to have such great influences!
