Dolores Huerta was a relentless fighter for justice and a hero for working people everywhere. The mark she left on this world is indisputable, and her legacy will endure in every worker who stood up for their dignity, every family that found their voice, and every community that refused to accept less than they deserved.
She showed us that ordinary people, when they organize and refuse to back down, can change the world. California’s farmworkers, and working people across this country, carry her legacy in everything they have won and everything they continue to fight for. My deepest condolences to her family and to all who loved her.
