In Celebration of Women's History Month???? Honoring Dolores Huerta: A Champion for Justice Dolores Huerta has spent a lifetime fighting for economic justice and labor rights. Before becoming one of the most influential activists of the 20th century, she was a school teacher. But when she saw children coming to class hungry, she knew she had to do more. From co-founding the United Farm Workers Association to leading the Delano Grape Strike, Huerta has dedicated her life to advocacy, never backing down in the fight for workers' rights. Her legacy continues to inspire activism and change today. ?? “Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.” – Dolores Huerta #WomensHistoryMonth #FoodJustice #DoloresHuerta #EndHunger #RiverCityFoodBank
