AI Summary

This resolution supports designating April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day" to honor the remarkable labor and civil rights leader Dolores Huerta, who was born on that date in 1930. The resolution highlights Huerta's extensive activism, including her co-founding of the National Farm Workers Association (now United Farm Workers' Union) with César Chávez, her pivotal role in organizing grape worker strikes and nationwide boycotts that led to groundbreaking labor protections, and her tireless work to improve working conditions for farm workers. It recognizes her significant contributions to social justice, including her creation of the famous rallying cry "Sí Se Puede" (Yes, We Can), her commitment to nonviolent civil activism, and her efforts to increase political representation for Latinos and women. The resolution also acknowledges her numerous achievements, such as being inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame, receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and founding the Dolores Huerta Foundation to continue her legacy of fighting for equality and civil rights. By supporting this designation, the House of Representatives aims to honor Huerta's extraordinary lifetime of advocacy and her ongoing commitment to social justice.
