🕊️The Young Women’s Leadership Academy honors the life and legacy of Dolores Huerta, a courageous labor leader and lifelong advocate for justice, equality, and the rights of working people.

Her dedication to service, her commitment to empowering others, and her unwavering belief in the power of collective action leave an enduring legacy for generations to come.

As we remember her contributions, may we continue to encourage our young women to lead with courage, speak up for what is right, and work toward a more just and equitable world.

“¡Sí, se puede!” — Yes, we can!

Our thoughts are with all those mourning her passing. Her legacy will continue to inspire.
