Secure TransactionBook Description
This powerful book also describes how the UFW became the era's leading incubator of young activist talent, creating a generation of skilled alumni who went on to play critical roles in progressive campaigns. UFW volunteers and staff were dedicated to furthering economic justice, and many devoted their post-UFW lives working for social change. When Barack Obama adopted Yes We Can as his 2008 campaign theme, he confirmed that the spirit of Si Se Puede has never been stronger, and that it still provides the clearest roadmap for achieving greater social and economic justice in the United States.
