Dolores Huerta, the far-left civil rights activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez and honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America has died.
Huerta was 96 years old.
Dolores Huerta came up with the farmworker chant, "Si, se puede!"
"We are deeply saddened to announce that our beloved mother, Dolores Huerta, has passed away today at the age of 96," a post from the Dolores Huerta Foundation read.
"As you can imagine, this is an incredibly difficult time for us, and we ask for privacy as we grieve this incredible loss to our family," the statement said.
"We know that many of you around the world share in our mourning, and we will be following up on plans to recognize and celebrate her incredible life and legacy," they said.
Earlier this year, Cesar Chavez was hit with multiple sexual abuse allegations. Huerta came forward and claimed she was sexually abused by Cesar Chavez.
Huerta said she had secret children with Cesar Chavez after he raped her.
"I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences."
Dolores Huerta, the labor activist who co-founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, said Wednesday she was "manipulated and pressured into having sex" with him.

Grumpy Cat says “Good!”
The first kid might have been rape, but when it becomes kid after kid after kid it is for all practical purposes, consent.
The political spectrum has moved so far to the left that Chavez would be called a “right wing extremist” today:

Adios!
Only voted 16 times in this election cycle.
Dolores Huerta was a total communist radical and Fidel Castro acolyte who actually named one of he kids after Fidel
Well...bye.
I propose another holiday
Finally, now shes a good communist.
True—but notice that even the Commies opposed illegal immigration in those days.
They understood it was a threat to legal American labor.
Today’s leftists are a lot worse than the “old school” leftists—they just want to turn the country into a third world dumpster fire where everybody is poor.
“We are deeply saddened...”
We aren’t.
Goodified as it were.
They should have kept the Chinese as farm workers they didn’t whine all the time.
I have come to the conclusion that Cesar Chavez was blind..............
The only good socialist is a... well, she is one now.
