Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dolores Huerta (1930–2026), a pioneering labor leader, civil rights activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers.
For more than six decades, Huerta dedicated her life to organizing workers, fighting for fair wages, safer working conditions andRead more stronger labor protections. She played a pivotal role in historic farmworker strikes and boycotts, helped negotiate groundbreaking union contracts and paved the way for generations of women in the labor movement.
Her unwavering commitment to workers' rights and her belief in the power of collective action helped shape the labor movement we know today.
Her legacy lives on in every worker who stands up for their rights and every union that continues the fight for dignity and fairness.
