Oh my god, Alisa. The mental image of Dolores body slamming Schumer gives me chills ‘n thrills. I was a junior at UT Austin in September 1966 when César Chávez’ march from the Valley reached the state capitol. They marched up Congress Ave shouting “Viva la Huelga” and scores of radical students like me met them on the steps. It was a glorious and unforgettable day, especially coming just one month after the Tower shooting which left all of us traumatized. To step out of that dark place of despair (many of us lost friends that day) into the bright light of justice and courage renewed us. I’ve never seen a braver man or woman than César and Dolores. 💪🏽🇲🇽

Thank you so much for writing this Alisa and clearing up the ignorance. I'm so honored that I actually got to meet Dolores during the horrible SB1070 times in Arizona. She's one of my heroes. Si se puede for everyone!
