It is with heavy hearts that all of us at the DPOC mourn the passing of labor icon Dolores Huerta.

From humble beginnings in New Mexico to California’s Central Valley, where she co-founded the National Farmworkers Association, her career fighting for working families, immigrants, and the disenfranchised spanned decades. Her indomitable force and singular personality will never again be replicated in California.

Dolores’ courage over the past year speaking out against sexual abuse and naming the crimes of powerful, revered men will leave a legacy of honesty and speaking truth to power and giving hope to every woman and girl who has felt silenced.

We are proud to have our annual labor award named after such an amazing individual and offer our deepest condolences to her family and to the so many who were touched by her powerful spirit.

“Si se puede!”

BREAKING: according to the OC Registrar of Voters there are now officially over 700,000 registered Democrats in Orange County, a huge milestone!

DPOC Chair Florice Hoffman has released the following statement:

“It brings me great pride to report that over 700,000 Democrats are now registered to vote in Orange County. This is thanks to the efforts of so many volunteers and our hard work within communities and neighborhoods countywide – with more Democrats registering every day.

People are tired of the corruption and lawlessness of Donald Trump, they’re sick of MAGA and soaring insurance rates and reckless wars and tariffs, high gas and food prices, and the politics of hate and division that rewards billionaires and corporate donors over working families. People are ready for change.

Our Democratic candidates are competing everywhere in Orange County. We are working to keep our majority on the OC Board of Supervisors and will be sending 7 Democrats to congress in 2026. With less than two weeks until November 3rd, we are laser focused on ensuring all Democrats vote, this election is too important to stay home, and getting Democrats out to vote is our highest priority at the DPOC.

There are multiple in-person voting options available starting this weekend and we encourage all Democrats to find their nearest vote center or dropbox to return their ballot.”

Now let’s get those ballots in by November 3rd! 🌊🍊💪
