SFLDC STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF OUR MADRINA, DOLORES HUERTA

Posted by · October 28, 2026 1:36 PM

Today, our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of an icon, our teacher, and our beloved madrina, Dolores Huerta.

She was more than a trailblazer.

Dolores taught generations of working people that we have the power to change our lives. As a co-founder of the United Farm Workers, she organized in the fields, faced down violence, stood up to police batons that nearly killed her, and gave voice to the poor, the immigrant, and the forgotten. She gave us the rallying cry that still guides our struggle: ¡Sí, Se Puede!

Hoy, nuestros corazones están apesadumbrados al llorar el fallecimiento de un ícono, nuestra maestra y nuestra querida madrina, Dolores Huerta.

Dolores enseñó a generaciones de trabajadores que tenemos el poder de cambiar nuestras vidas. Como cofundadora de la Unión de Campesinos (United Farm Workers), organizó en los campos, se enfrentó a la violencia, resistió los golpes de macanas policiales que casi la matan, y dio voz a los pobres, a los inmigrantes y a los olvidados. Ella nos dio el grito de lucha que aún guía nuestra batalla: ¡Sí, Se Puede!
