We mourn the loss of trailblazing Chicana activist & United Farm Workers co-founder Dolores Huerta (1930–2026). A lifelong champion for farmworkers, women, and social justice, her legacy lives on through generations of organizers. Gracias Dolores, por abrir caminos.
Dolores Huerta stands prominently in front of a large yellow circle against a blue background. The image is surrounded by smaller, black-and-white images of individuals holding protest signs with messages like "Boycott Grapes" and "Huelga" (Strike).
