Sexual violence can haunt victims for a lifetime—especially when there is injustice. Dolores Huerta taught all of us that it’s never too late to make it right. A beautiful, transformative contribution at the end of a life dedicated to making the world a better place.
rest in peace to Dolores Huerta. after a lifetime of organizing, in her last year on earth, she chose to be brave enough to change the historical record; in doing so, she set an example for generations of feminists
The day, the streets, everything named for that man should be named for her. (In fairness, some things have started to be renamed already.)
Dolores Huerta, who rose to national prominence as the co-founder of the National Farm Workers Association, and was known for her advocacy for women farmworkers, has died. She was 96. Huerta coined the ¡Sí Se Puede! chant and came to define the farmworker movement.
