LIVE BLOG: Hillary Clinton Accepts Democratic Nomination

update

Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic Party's nomination for president Thursday night with a message stressing the need to unite in order to confront the nation's challenges. "It truly is up to us," she said.

Civil Rights Leader Dolores Huerta says, like Hillary Clinton, she has spent her life working for those who don't have a voice. She says with Donald Trump on the ticket, they must not remain quiet.

Huerta says 800,000 Latinos turn 18 every year. And their contributions to Social Security ... will help retirees. "We are not footnotes to history, we are helping write this history," she says.

Huerta pushes people to vote. Says there is power in the Latino vote. "Our votes will increase paychecks. ... Our votes will secure reproductive rights for women. ... But we have to be active Democrats."

Huerta gets the crowd chanting, "Si se puede!" (Yes, we can.)
