| Today, DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement on the passing of labor leader and civil rights icon Dolores Huerta:
“Today we mourn the loss of an extraordinary leader, a fierce advocate for working families, and a titan of the civil rights movement and organized labor, Dolores Huerta. She dedicated her life to the relentless pursuit of justice, equality, and dignity for the Latino community, farmworkers, women, and marginalized communities across the country. Her decades of advocacy have empowered millions of Americans to stand up and fight for their rights.
