DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Special Evening with DOLORES HUERTA of the Farm Workers 
 Movement and the Dolores Huerta Foundation\n\nYou are invited to an 
 Extraordinary Voices, Extraordinary Change Speaker Series with Dolores 
 Huerta, President and Founder of the Dolores Huerta Foundation. As one of 
 the country’s most important and influential Latinas and advocates for 
 workers’ rights, she works tirelessly developing leaders and advocating 
 for the working poor, women and children.\n\n\nMs. Huerta co-founded the 
 United Farm Workers (UFW) with César Chávez in 1962 and has been 
 instrumental in passing historic legislation, including Aid for Dependent 
 Families (AFDC), disability insurance for farm workers, and legalization 
 for 1 million farm workers under the Immigration Reform Act of l984-85.  As 
 the main negotiator for the UFW, she obtained many “firsts” that had 
 been denied to farm workers including basic sanitation, clean drinking 
 water in the fields, and medical coverage.\n\nDolores Huerta is an active 
 member of Amnesty International, the Feminist Majority Foundation and the 
 California Museum of History, Women, and the Arts. She has received 
 numerous awards, among them the Eleanor Roosevelt Humans Rights Award from 
 President Clinton in 1998, and nine honorary doctorates. She was also named 
 one of Ms. Magazine’s three most important women of 1997 and Ladies Home
