Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Labor icon Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, died at 96. She was a pivotal figure in the 1960s farmworker movement that secured rights for agricultural laborers in California.

Huerta, who co-founded the UFW with Chavez, fought for farmworkers' rights, including job security, healthcare, and rest periods. She was involved in the UFW's 'Si, se puede' slogan, later adopted by Barack Obama.

Huerta's activism extended beyond labor, advocating for women's rights and opposing Trump's immigration policies. She remained active into her 90s, endorsing candidates and registering voters.

Huerta faced allegations of sexual misconduct by Chavez, which she addressed by arranging pregnancies for victims, but she supported his leadership during the UFW's peak.
