Dolores Huerta

The late civil rights leader Dolores Huerta will lie in honor at the California State Capital in Sacramento ahead of other events.

Huerta died just days before the 2026 Midterm Election, in which she had been active with campaigns.

Dolores Huerta fought for causes even in her golden years, when many others would be enjoying retirement. She marched or spoke at protests, panels and other events into her 90s.

Dolores Huerta died on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026. She was 96.

The shattered legacy of Latino labor rights icon César Chavez has been particularly devastating among advocates who have long fought to raise awareness about sexual harassment and abuse against women farmworkers, which remains both widespread and underreported.

Most farmworkers in the United States today aren’t represented by labor unions, but United Farm Workers is known by many as their voice.

While Cesar E. Chavez and Dolores Huerta's names were once inseparable, elected leaders and community members are initiating efforts to rename some buildings, schools and streets after Huerta alone.
