    RT @RepRashida: Dolores Huerta transformed the labor movement and spent her life fighting for civil rights. She led boycotts, organized walkouts, and negotiated some of the first successful contracts for farm workers. We must continue her legacy. May she rest in power.

    RT @RepJudyChu: I’m heartbroken by the passing of one of my heroes, Dolores Huerta. She was the true definition of a champion, co-founding the United Farm Workers and helping win farmworkers in California the right to unionize. She taught generations that "Sí se puede." Her legacy lives on in every worker who has found a voice in the fight for their rights.

    RT @RepTroyCarter: Today, I join so many others mourning the loss of Dolores Huerta — a beloved labor icon, civil rights activist, and union champion who fought tirelessly for her community and inspired generations of Americans. Our prayers are with her family and friends.   Dolores told us: “Sí, se puede.” It's now on us to create a world where every worker is treated with fairness and dignity.

    RT @RepTeresaLF: Dolores Huerta once told me, “You should dance in your 20s so you can march in your 90s.” And march she did. For justice. For dignity. For those whose voices were too often ignored. She taught us that the fight for a better world should be filled with joy, that resistance can be a celebration, and that the rhythm of change lives in all of us. Today, we mourn a giant. But her footsteps will echo in every march, her spirit will live in every movement, and her words will carry us forward. Remember: who has the power? The people have the power. Siempre.

    RT @RepFriedmanCA: Learning from and working alongside Dolores Huerta was the greatest honor of my time in the Legislature. I’m heartbroken by her passing. She was my partner on the bill that finally got paraquat off California’s fields. She testified for it at 94 because farmworkers were being poisoned. That was Dolores, always showing up and fighting for our hardworking neighbors and friends. Rest in power, Dolores.

    RT @RepGwenMoore: Today marks 8 months since Trump started his war of choice in Iran. Since then nearly two dozen American service members have lost their lives, and hundreds have been injured. When given a chance to end this war, Republicans in Congress like Bryan Steil, Tom Tiffany and Derrick Van Orden voted NO.

    RT @Rep_Stansbury: Absolutely devastated to learn of the passing of New Mexico’s own, Dolores Huerta. 💔 A friend. A mentor. A real life super hero. Dolores helped organize a movement that changed our country. From farmworkers to working families, women, and communities whose voices were often ignored, Dolores was a force and voice for change. A woman who didn’t back down and who spoke truth to power. Dolores, you will be so missed. But your legacy will live on in the continued fight for justice! ¡Sí, se puede!

    RT @RepJimmyPanetta: Deeply saddened by the passing of Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers and a pioneer in the fight for labor and civil rights, women’s rights, and equality. Her lifetime of advocacy and action helped generations of farmworkers secure better wages, safer working conditions, and a voice on the job. Dolores inspired the fight for many farmworkers to achieve the American Dream and give their children a better life. Her legacy is felt well beyond our local agricultural communities on the central coast of California and throughout our country. My heart is with her family, friends, and all those who carry forward her pursuit of giving farmworkers fairness and our children a brighter future.

    Dolores Huerta, who founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, changing laws and the lives of thousands of laborers, died on Wednesday at 96. A skilled organizer, she coordinated walkouts and negotiated pathbreaking contracts with agribusiness.

    RT @RepYvetteClarke: Dolores Huerta was a woman of unparalleled conviction, unshakeable courage, and, perhaps above all, unlimited compassion. Her work as Co-Founder of United Farm Workers and throughout her 96 years transformed our nation’s labor movement and fundamentally altered the course of the 20th Century. Indeed, today’s America was built upon Ms. Huerta's lifetime of service and advocacy. Tomorrow’s must be shaped by the blueprint she left behind.   I stand alongside countless others in grieving the passing of this true hero of our history, as well as the loss of her moral, principled leadership at a time when it is most needed.

    RT @RepLindaSanchez: As the daughter of immigrants who grew up in Southern California, Dolores Huerta and the UFW profoundly shaped my life. Through organizing and fighting for workers’ rights, she helped open doors for me and generations of Latinas who followed. I’m deeply grateful for her life, leadership, and service to our community.
