Flags at Half-Staff for Dolores Huerta
October 29, 2026 – November 2, 2026
Dolores Huerta was a labor activist and civil rights icon who co-founded the United Farm Workers of America in the mid-1960s. For decades she championed equal rights for women, immigrants and workers, and her rallying cry "Sí, se puede" inspired generations. She died on October 28, 2026, at age 96. North Carolina's Governor has ordered flags lowered in her honor.
