Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
H.Res. 326 is a symbolic resolution that designates April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day" to honor the legacy of the pioneering labor and civil rights activist. The resolution recognizes Huerta's decades of work organizing farm workers, including her cofounding of the United Farm Workers Union with César Chávez, her leadership of successful grape boycotts that improved working conditions, and her role in securing the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act of 1975—the first law allowing farm workers to collectively bargain. Beyond labor organizing, the resolution acknowledges Huerta's advocacy for women's rights, her popularization of the phrase "Sí Se Puede," and her later efforts to increase Latino and women representation in political office. The resolution carries no funding or enforcement mechanism; it simply expresses the House's support for recognizing April 10, Huerta's birthday, as a day to honor her contributions to American civil rights and equality.
