Stahl supported the UFW during their first march from Delano to Sacramento. She said she was the only nurse there and even healed a blister on Chavez’ foot.
PUBLISHED 5:14 PM CDT Apr. 01, 2023SAN ANTONIO — Dora and Ed Stahl were holding hands as they participated in their first Cesar Chavez March for Justice in San Antonio.
It’s fitting considering they’ve supported the United Farm Workers movement for well over 50 years. She even has a UFW jar opener they sent for her support. Their roots to this movement run deeper. They actually knew Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta. They had dinner with Chavez and his brother. She was a nurse in San Francisco, but did some organizing of her own when she and Ed Stahl noticed an issue within 12 Catholic churches.
They led hundreds of marchers asking for Spanish masses and this eventually grabbed the attention from Dolores Huerta, who saw the influence the Stahl’s had. “We took the group over and talked it over with everybody and we decided, ‘Yes we do want to support them [UFW]’” Ed Stahl said.
