[00:00:28] like me, what, what did Dolores do Working for you.
[00:00:32] Good morning and welcome to Comunidad del
[00:00:35] in the Valle, I'm Damián Trugillo, on today's there picking and pruning and show, the elections have arrived, we'll talk about that today on
[00:00:39] your Comunidad del Valle.
[00:00:52] because what she
[00:01:01] We will also talk today on Comunidad del Valle about the passing of Dolores Hurta,
[00:01:05] but first we start with the elections and to
[00:01:08] those same values representing talk with us throughout the program is Professor Jesús, professor at
[00:01:12] San Jose State and also at San Jose City College, he joins
[00:01:15] us here in Comunidad del Valle, welcome to the program,
[00:01:20] her supporters thank you very much Damián for having me here, thank you for being here, I see on your
[00:01:24] shirt the Stanford symbol, a Stanford graduate with your
[00:01:27] master's degree, what pride, right? yes,
[00:01:32] listening to what forever, congratulations, well, look, this Tuesday the
[00:01:35] elections here in California, we have already been able to vote for a couple of
[00:01:38] weeks by mail, but how big,
[00:01:41] how significant are these elections this
[00:01:44] season? Well, really in all my life it is, I think, the most
[00:01:48] important, one of the most important, because it is an
[00:01:51] opportunity to establish
[00:01:55] more balance in the national government, since
[00:01:59] one party controls the White House and
[00:02:01] Congress and and then there are always
[00:02:05] our community always has
[00:02:09] many, many important things
[00:02:12] 25,995 and with to vote on, look, it is predicted that perhaps
[00:02:15] 55 to 60% of those who are
[00:02:18] eligible to vote will vote, what they tell me is that
[00:02:22] 40% will not vote,
[00:02:25] and we continue here in Comunidad del Valle with those are the ones who will complain in the future that this happens, this does not
[00:02:27] happen, there are many consequences to not voting.
[00:02:30] especially in Too many, Damián, and especially for our people, since
[00:02:34] there are many, many members of our
[00:02:37] communities who cannot vote, they are immigrants, they are not, they are not citizens,
[00:02:42] I know that her family so, uh, if
[00:02:44] will do their best to one is a citizen, it is important to use that power
[00:02:47] that others do not have and
[00:02:50] also for this election uh those who cannot
[00:02:53] vote can promote voting among
[00:02:57] our community and well, I
[00:03:01] I say that we can all do our
[00:03:04] part and already
[00:03:06] this for all the people it can be stronger,
[00:03:10] more powerful with everyone
[00:03:13] participating in the
[00:03:15] here in Comunidad del Valle, you can follow me on way they can, if all the Latinos like you and me
[00:03:18] across the country would vote, what a great thing
[00:03:22] it would be, look what happened in
[00:03:24] Texas a week ago, Los Tigres del Norte with the band of
[00:03:28] Democrats throughout the state, the
[00:03:32] idols of the people are trying to encourage the people
[00:03:36] to vote, yes I saw it and it's something very
[00:03:40] wonderful and well I I want to be optimistic because when
[00:03:44] I see things like that and
[00:03:46] what is happening everywhere, there is a lot
[00:03:50] of enthusiasm in voting in our people
[00:03:53] especially what we have seen about the
[00:03:56] injustices, raids and etc. and look
[00:04:00] the ballot this year here in California is long,
[00:04:02] there are 14 propositions, there are
[00:04:06] candidates for school board and
[00:04:09] council, mayoralties, what do
[00:04:12] I know, so you have to study the ballot well before filling in the
[00:04:15] bubble, exactly and I always tell my
[00:04:19] students, before one well
[00:04:21] you looked at the names, for
[00:04:25] example those who are running campaigns and
[00:04:28] and one or another Hispanic name, right, but
[00:04:32] we are already more and and it's not
[00:04:34] just to see if it's a person with an
[00:04:38] Hispanic name, we have to
[00:04:41] read the platform, what
[00:04:44] they are going to fight for and
[00:04:47] really if they are representing the needs that
[00:04:51] exist in the community, yes, let's see what
[00:04:54] are the values of that person, whether it's a man,
[00:04:58] woman, candidates throughout the... we have to study that ballot to
[00:05:02] mark and see that it agrees with perhaps
[00:05:05] one's thoughts, well, for more information, don't
[00:05:09] go away because we continue with you throughout the program, for more information, if
[00:05:13] you want to vote, there is the website of the California Secretary of State,
[00:05:17] there you can find out, if you still don't know where
[00:05:21] you can vote, whether it's in San Francisco, in Oakland, Richmond,
[00:05:25] San Jose, you can get that information, November 3rd are the
[00:05:28] elections, we continue here in Comunidad del
[00:05:30] Valle,
[00:05:33] Natural gas has a peculiar smell like rotten eggs, if
[00:05:37] you think you smell gas, it is important that you move away from the area and call
[00:05:40] 911, once outside.
[00:06:18] You have to keep fighting, you cannot let yourself be defeated, if you fall you have to
[00:06:22] get up again, your story has to be told, one day
[00:06:26] hot water and three or four days not, your voice must be
[00:06:29] heard, please stop the eviction orders, because you
[00:06:33] matter every day looking for solutions for you,
[00:06:36] we will tell you where you can find this
[00:06:39] free community pantry, in your city, in your neighborhood
[00:06:44] affects you, Telemundo news 48 working for
[00:06:48] you,
[00:06:51] my vote changes nothing, in
[00:06:53] California, elections have been decided by a single
[00:06:57] vote, decision 2026,
[00:07:00] your voice, your vote,
[00:07:04] Telemundo Responde and NBC Response have recovered more than
[00:07:07] 100 million dollars for our viewers nationwide
[00:07:11] and here in the
[00:07:28] it is great support that Telemundo 48 provides to the community Responds
[00:07:32] working for you
[00:07:37] Professor Jesús from San José State and San José City
[00:07:41] College. Well, we have talked for
[00:07:45] decades, Chuy, about how the sleeping giant
[00:07:48] that is the Latino voter is going to wake up and will wake up, has
[00:07:52] it already woken up, are we still waking up, are we still
[00:07:54] asleep?
[00:07:57] Well, what I have seen is a lot of
[00:08:00] action in our people and and hopes
[00:08:04] that this movement of
[00:08:07] getting involved in what our
[00:08:11] civil rights are to participate in a
[00:08:14] democracy and voting is
[00:08:17] a way to participate and in your
[00:08:20] classes you have people who are perhaps going to vote for the first time in your classes
[00:08:24] at San Jose State and City College because they have just turned
[00:08:27] 18 or perhaps they are 19 and didn't vote last time,
[00:08:31] but what do they tell you, what do they talk about, are they active, are they
[00:08:35] interested or is it a hobby for them?
[00:08:38] Uh well it's really a mix, right.
[00:08:42] But what we have done
[00:08:46] is to educate young people
[00:08:49] generally on why it is important
[00:08:52] to vote and what happens when one does not vote
[00:08:55] and and if we are a large
[00:08:59] majority, especially in this state, then we have to
[00:09:02] use that power and and really what
[00:09:06] we have seen historically is that young people are
[00:09:09] interested because it is
[00:09:12] their future, for us older people
[00:09:15] it's not so much, but they
[00:09:18] are the future and they know that they are the future, yes, we are already
[00:09:22] leaving, they are coming in, but look
[00:09:25] Chuy, in Mexico, in other Latin American
[00:09:27] countries, Latin America,
[00:09:31] people have shed blood to obtain that right to
[00:09:35] vote, shed blood, they have died and one
[00:09:39] is like, oh, I wonder if I vote, I wonder if not, we are...
[00:09:42] giving that opportunity to vote if we don't vote, yes, not
[00:09:45] only in Latin America, but if one has
[00:09:49] knowledge of the civil rights movement in this country, one can also
[00:09:52] see that especially in the era of the 60s and
[00:09:56] 70s there
[00:09:59] were many
[00:10:01] obstacles, a lot of injustice
[00:10:05] and and the right to
[00:10:09] vote has always been something
[00:10:13] not naturally obtained,
[00:10:17] there has always been in this country a
[00:10:20] movement to fight for that right to vote, years
[00:10:24] ago, here on this program. Well, there has
[00:10:27] been a lot of disillusionment because there have been elections where
[00:10:31] 15% of Latino voters turned out, 17%,
[00:10:35] which is almost nothing, it's a shame if
[00:10:38] we have that opportunity, Chuy, and we don't go vote, and yes,
[00:10:42] as I said, many Latino citizens have
[00:10:45] parents, perhaps uncles, grandparents who are not
[00:10:49] citizens, so it is
[00:10:52] very important if you are a young person,
[00:10:55] who has that right to use that right to
[00:10:59] represent those who cannot and
[00:11:02] talk about that pride that one feels when seeing that
[00:11:06] on top of the candidacy there are
[00:11:09] people with Latino surnames, well, if they have the
[00:11:12] same thoughts as oneself, that's another thing, but
[00:11:16] that some Latino or Latina is at the top, like for
[00:11:19] governor of California, that he is Latino, what pride it must be,
[00:11:22] right? Yes, quite a lot, and hopefully
[00:11:26] our people will rise up to vote and support those
[00:11:29] candidates who do have
[00:11:33] the historical struggle of our people and
[00:11:36] and well, as I tell you, I am very
[00:11:40] optimistic this year, many hopes must be had
[00:11:44] for something better,
[00:11:46] perfect, professor, anything else you want to add regarding the elections here in
[00:11:50] Comunidad de Valle? Well, as a very
[00:11:54] important person said, she started the saying that "Sí se puede" (Yes we can),
[00:11:58] "Sí se puede, sí se puede," (Yes we can, yes we can) we are going to talk about that person in the next
[00:12:01] segment, we are talking about Dolores Huerta who passed away
[00:12:04] here last Wednesday, well for more information, if you
[00:12:08] don't know where you can vote, there is the website of the California Secretary
[00:12:12] of State for you to check where you can vote if you have not received
[00:12:16] your ballot by mail, we continue here in Comunidad del

[00:14:35] professor at San José State and San José City College with us
[00:14:38] in Comunidad del Valle, well, this past
[00:14:41] Wednesday Dolores Huerta passed away at 96
[00:14:45] years old, tell us about your reaction to receiving this
[00:14:48] news, well, it is really a great
[00:14:51] loss for our people, but she,
[00:14:55] represented and was a very great symbol
[00:14:59] in in this nation, not only for the
[00:15:03] Latino people, but for everyone and
[00:15:06] especially because the struggles she
[00:15:10] participated in were at a time when
[00:15:13] the participation of
[00:15:16] women in leadership positions was not
[00:15:20] seen and well,
[00:15:22] she gave us... a lot to
[00:15:26] be inspired by, really, and
[00:15:29] she received a lot of criticism at that time, Chuy, because many people told
[00:15:33] her that she shouldn't be in the campaigns, that she should be at home.
[00:15:37] Oh, that she was a woman and that it was in the 60s and that
[00:15:40] she was out of her place, that's right,
[00:15:43] she was someone who stood up to
[00:15:47] racism and sexism at a time when it was not
[00:15:51] seen so much, she did it with great
[00:15:55] sacrifice and
[00:15:58] well, there will always be critics, right, but at the same time
[00:16:02] one can see the long-term life of a person,
[00:16:05] the facts and the
[00:16:07] facts speak. A lot, she was
[00:16:11] the one who invented the saying "sí se puede" (yes we can), as you
[00:16:15] mentioned, she was the one who introduced it to the entire farmworkers' union,
[00:16:18] and what a way to communicate to the people, right, that
[00:16:22] today we are still using that phrase, "sí se
[00:16:25] puede" (yes we can), yes, especially
[00:16:29] was trying to do
[00:16:32] as a civil and labor rights
[00:16:35] fighter was
[00:16:39] something that many farmworkers really did not think could
[00:16:42] be achieved there in the fields,
[00:16:45] they were trying to convince the farmworkers and many
[00:16:48] farmworkers working saying it can't be done, well, how to
[00:16:52] say, you're crazy, it can't be done and she and
[00:16:58] began to shout "sí se puede,
[00:17:01] sí se puede" (yes we can, yes we can), that's where it came from, so it was to contradict what
[00:17:05] those who were working in the field were saying, that's
[00:17:09] how it started, by
[00:17:12] convincing those who were very oppressed in the
[00:17:15] field, that if they united,
[00:17:18] a great change could be made, thank you, thank you for
[00:17:22] emphasizing that, I love it and well Chuy, she passed away at
[00:17:25] 96 years old, at 95 and a half she was still fighting for
[00:17:29] those rights, yes, I had the
[00:17:33] honor and privilege of meeting Dolores Huerta because
[00:17:36] as a professor, she always
[00:17:40] came to inspire students and
[00:17:44] several times she came to San José State University, to San José
[00:17:48] City College, and
[00:17:51] I was impressed because at that old age,
[00:17:54] still with a lot of energy,
[00:17:57] I remember she before talking to
[00:18:00] the students at the college, she was on the phone with
[00:18:03] senators, those from the state assembly and
[00:18:07] we are going there now but I am here, and she was
[00:18:10] more mobilized than a younger person
[00:18:14] and I was very impressed, the students
[00:18:18] very motivated with her presentation
[00:18:21] every time she came, very good, thanks to Chuy, well Dolores
[00:18:25] Huerta passed away, we continue here in Comunidad del Valle, we talk a little more about
[00:18:29] Dolores Huerta and we continue with you here so don't go away,
[00:18:32] thank you,
[00:18:34] never touch a fallen power line. Always assume it
[00:18:38] is live and dangerous, if you see a fallen
[00:18:41] cable, call 911 avoid touching
[00:18:44] anything or anyone who has come into contact with
[00:18:47] it. We are Los Tigres del

[00:19:07] It is important to be informed, Los Tigres del
[00:19:11] Norte and Telemundo 48
[00:19:14] supporting our
[00:19:16] community.

[00:19:49] In San Francisco working for you Flavio Lacá and Telemundo news
[00:19:52] 48.
[00:19:57] And we continue here in Comunidad del Valle with Jesús Cubarruyas, professor at San José
[00:20:00] State and San José City College. Well, I, there will
[00:20:04] never be another one.
[00:20:08] Is there another Dolores Huerta, is there another person who has
[00:20:12] perhaps taken the reins after her passing
[00:20:15] and can continue the struggle that
[00:20:19] Dolores started? Well, she was indeed unique, right,
[00:20:22] but I say that there are many women who
[00:20:25] have been inspired to fight
[00:20:29] against sexism, against
[00:20:32] discrimination, injustices, I know that
[00:20:35] there are many women especially
[00:20:38] inspired by her who
[00:20:41] are continuing that struggle and
[00:20:44] we hope that they can take us all to another
[00:20:48] higher level because that struggle against
[00:20:51] injustices, discrimination, is
[00:20:55] something that unfortunately
[00:20:57] continues in our lives, just as when she started in the
[00:21:01] 60s, with more desire,
[00:21:05] now that she is gone, hopefully it inspires us
[00:21:08] more, you are originally from
[00:21:12] Salinas, you know a lot about what it is to work in the field, Chuy, just
[00:21:18] for you, for me, for the rest of the farmworkers who were
[00:21:25] pipes, well, there is a song, I don't
[00:21:29] remember specifically the verse, but those
[00:21:32] who were bent over raised their heads, they stood up,
[00:21:36] it was
[00:21:39] a time of great oppression
[00:21:43] and quite strong
[00:21:46] abuses and when she started
[00:21:49] to raise her voice, she,
[00:21:52] many farmworkers who
[00:21:56] had the same complaints,
[00:21:58] she gave them
[00:22:02] encouragement and perhaps a sense
[00:22:05] of power they had never had, and
[00:22:08] especially when they started leaving the fields, they started
[00:22:12] to march to make their demands, she was
[00:22:16] one of the first to negotiate with the ranchers.
[00:22:21] And and I think that was quite
[00:22:25] impressive at that time for a
[00:22:28] woman to negotiate against ranchers who were all
[00:22:32] Anglo men and
[00:22:35] she achieved, she achieved the first contracts
[00:22:39] because she was called the
[00:22:42] dragon woman by the ranchers
[00:22:45] because of how she spoke and contradicted them
[00:22:48] and corrected them when they spoke
[00:22:51] with so much sexism and everything,
[00:22:54] she didn't give up, no, and
[00:22:57] it was as the ranchers say, they were Anglo-Saxons, they had a lot of
[00:23:01] power, a lot of money, with the support of the governor of California and other
[00:23:04] states, and and she didn't give up, anything else Chuy that
[00:23:08] you want to add about Dolores Huerta,
[00:23:11] well, it is I have high hopes that
[00:23:14] now that she is gone we can,
[00:23:20] schools, begin to develop more
[00:23:23] knowledge about her deeds, about the
[00:23:26] sacrifices she made and
[00:23:34] maintain that legacy of what she gave us with so much
[00:23:37] sacrifice, Chuy, it's a pleasure, a great honor
