  No solidarity=No success

  "...Si Se Puede, Si Se Puede" -- a pointed translation of Obama's campaign slogan, 'Yes We Can, Yes We Can...' "

  I can't even express my disgust at the ignorance of this statement.  Anyone who has ever worked at all with the Latino movements will know this chant begun long before Obama.  You do know what the UFW is, right?  I bet somewhere Delores Huerta is giving this "Veteran Environmental Journalist" a dirty look.

  If we can't begin to understand the at-risk constituencies we are supposedly fighting for, we can not win the battle against climate change.  Solidarity the best way to advance our goals---but with ignorance like this, I assume "blowing off steam" and fighting amongst ourselves will be hindering us for a long time.On Business groups, community activists blast California's cap-and-trade plans posted 1 year ago 12 Responses
