119th (2025–2027)
H.Res. 1170
This resolution designates April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day" to honor the labor and civil rights activist who was born on that date in 1930. Dolores Huerta co-founded the National Farm Workers Association and was instrumental in organizing major grape worker strikes and boycotts in the 1960s and 1970s that resulted in better working conditions and the nation's first agricultural labor relations law in California. Beyond farm worker organizing, she championed women's rights within the labor movement, originated the phrase "Si Se Puede," and later worked to increase Latino and women representation in political office. The resolution recognizes her numerous honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012 and induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame, as well as her continued work through the Dolores Huerta Foundation. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or implementation requirements, merely expressing the House's support for the designation and recognition of her contributions to civil rights and equality.
