Community Rejects Dolores Huerta on MayDay 2011

When Huerta arrives and asks to speak in front of the protesters, we give her the word and with mic in hand she disrespects and censors us telling us we shouldn't protest Obama or the representatives or the Democratic Party, that we should go protest the Republicans.

The protesters rejected Dolores Huerta on May Day and yelled "drivers' licenses for the undocumented!", "legalization for ALL!", No to the AgJOBS guestworker programs!", "unionized workers!".

Dolores Huerta came all the way from the halls of the Democratic Convention to speak in front of the demonstrators in representation of the Democratic Party.

Then Dolores came down from the podium and took on a provocateur attitude against the immigrants and workers who were there demonstrating and celebrating May Day in Sacramento, California, expressing herself against the migrant community and workers.

This scene is a clear example of the existence of false representatives who seek our vote and then, invested with power, legislate in favor of the rich and the corporations (i.e. the corporate heads).

Organize farmworkers whose sweat, blood and tears are left in the fields. STOP supporting the Democrats who sleep in the same bed with Republicans whose moral code is: Profits before People! How many UFW contracts are in effect in any corpo...rate owned fields en California? What company is the UFW organizing against at the moment? How many actual UFW members does the union have today? I don't have the answer does anyone? Please share if you know the whole truth.

Maybe if you were in the streets out in the community you would know who we are! One of the organizers was one of the first founders of the UFWA who dedicated along with his family over 25years to the UFW organizing the boycott in Pittsburgh but she dares to ignore him!Shame on you dolores! And every organizer isnt on any payroll but just "heart" defending our people many of us working poor while she collects all this money by being a puppet!Shame on you dolores!Shame on you!

2) AgJOBS remedies H2-A by creating a path to citizenship for millions upon millions of farm workers. Tell me how this is a bad thing? So you call it slave labor? And yet you continue to buy fruits and vegetables from the super market? It is essential that we honor farm worker labor and support legislation that will help our people step out of the shadows with respect. These issues won’t get solved by screaming at anyone, especially one of the greatest civil rights leaders of our time.

@pedroinfante1957 the rhetoric behind it agjobs is a new bracero program! If the UFW wanted to create a solution it would join for a honest immigration reform that ends trade agreements and so on!Or support EFCA so it makes it easier to organize workers! But the UFW has now become a family affair who thinks the union is only theirs when it belongs to the rank and file workers! Cesar's vision of organizing does no longer exsist!

[chivista916]

@pedroinfante1957 The union who cesar and hundreds organized to found meant all those fields organizers the true creators of the union who never get credit because its a pile of crap if anyone thinks it was just cesar and dolores does no longer exist! I have not heard any news of the UFW fighting for contracts but constantly i get emails begging for money to bus workers to the capital and kiss politicians in the ass! The real fight is out in the fields!Pass the message!

[chivista916]

Dolores Tries to feed us crap that its the republicans and so on and our people got pissed off tired of always hearing that! No one went to hear some bullshit and which is why the chants came! Then after talks to the media and feeds them lies and bull! Saying shes never seen any of us or wonders whos payroll we are on! But really Dolores maybe you never seen us because we are out in the community not having brunch with corporations and politicians but with the people who are being attacked!

WOW,

OUR PEOPLE ARE FINALLY CATCHING ON TO THIS VENDIDA!!!! I never thought

I'd see this day. This LATINA-VENDIDA has finally got her day. PLEASE

CIRCULATE THIS FAR AND WIDE. Most people still don't see that this

monster is a VENDIDA.

@alexsandro78 how is she part of our struggle if she supports anti-worker and anti-immigrant programs like Agjobs?

Dolores and the UFW have not organized anything since Cesar died. The ufw has about 6,000 members, down from thousands. Dolores has become a lobbyist for the democratic party. Shame on her for betraying Cesar.

Cesar would have marched with the people, not sat in an air conditioned room with politicians like Dolores Huerta did.

As a Latina documentary filmmaker and supporter of revolutions worldwide, it saddens me that people don't see the difference between productive protests and chaos. It is contradicting to expect the peoples voices to be heard while at the same time taking away the voice of one of America's most influential women, Latina at that, and a founder of the UFW. Whether I agree or not with many of the Democratic issues, I felt cheated from forming my own opinion, as Dolores was rudely interrupted.

Wish you had recorded that other Mujer talking.
