Supporting the designation of April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day", in honor of the accomplishments and legacy of Dolores Huerta.
This resolution (HRES 279, introduced April 6, 2023) designates April 10 as "Dolores Huerta Day" to symbolically honor Dolores Huerta's civil rights work. It recognizes her role co-founding the farm workers movement, advocating for labor rights (including the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act), promoting women's equality, and originating the "Sí Se Puede" slogan. The resolution has no binding policy effect - it is purely commemorative, celebrating her legacy without creating new laws or affecting any group directly. It was introduced by multiple House members as a formal expression of support for her contributions to social justice.
