Evoking powerful strategies honed alongside Cesar Chavez in organizing the United Farmworkers Union, legendary labor and human rights activist Dolores Huerta is leading the nation's next exploding social justice issue: immigrant rights. Learn how the plight of 8 million undocumented workers could affect our nation's future-- and yours.



Dolores C. Huerta is the co-founder and First Vice President Emeritus of the United Farm Workers of America, AFL-CIO ("UFW").

Dolores Huerta was born on April 10, 1930 in a mining town in northern New Mexico, and raised by her mother, Alicia Chavez, with her two brothers and two sisters in the central San Joaquin Valley farm worker community of Stockton, California.

In 1984, the California State Senate bestowed upon her the Outstanding Labor Leader Award. In 1993, Dolores was inducted into the National Women?s Hall of Fame. That same year she received the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty Award; and the Eugene V. Debs Foundation Outstanding American Award, and the Ellis Island Medal of Freedom Award. She is also the recipient of the Consumers? Union Trumpeter?s Award. In 1998 she was one of three Ms. Magazine?s, "Women of the Year", and the Ladies Home Journal?s, "100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century".

Donations will be collected for the Dolores Huerta Foundation. The Foundation will train grassroots activists in the kind of person-to-person organizing Huerta and Cesar Chavez made the cornerstone of the UFW.

DRUUMM affirms the People of Color identity as one of self-determination, dignity and respect. We recognize the historical and current systems of racial, cultural and identity-based oppression in North America, and are committed to building a culture of resistance and transformation. DRUUMM works actively to organize and minister to Unitarian Universalist People of Color. We are engaged in multi-issue anti-racist organizing that strives to recognize the linkage of oppressions.
