  • Huerta helped build the United Farm Workers, founded in Delano in 1962 as the first enduring U.S. union for poor farmworkers.

  • In March 2026, two women alleged Chávez sexually assaulted them as teenagers; Huerta told The New York Times he had twice forced sex on her.

  • In 1972, Huerta coined a rallying slogan during the union’s campaign against an anti-union law in Arizona.

  • In 2025, one of her nonprofits began building a $35-million center in Bakersfield, planned to include an academy for future community organizers.
  • I now understand that I am a survivor — of violence, of sexual abuse, of domineering men who saw me, and other women, as property, or things to control.
    — Dolores Huerta told The New York Times this after disclosing that César Chávez had sexually abused her.
