AB98 would have officially proclaimed April 10th as “Dolores Huerta Day” honoring a civil rights advocate and her lifelong fight for justice, dignity, and equality in the U.S.

Governor Lombardo vetoed it, dismissing the legacy of Dolores Huerta and the impact her work has had on the Latino community and beyond.

This bill will be back next session, because our history, our leaders, and our stories deserve to be recognized.
