dolores | sep. 26

Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century — and she continues the fight to this day, at 90.  

Dolores | SPEAKERS

Dolores Huerta (Legendary labor leader and civil rights activist)

Neza Xiuhtecutli (Farmworker Association of Florida)  

Alfonso Chavez (Food Justice Advocate)
