Labor leader and activist Dolores Huerta turned 90 on Friday, and she celebrates her birthday by announcing a fundraising campaign for communities directly impacted by COVID-19. Beatriz Acevedo, President of Acevedo Foundation, is proud to support this effort by serving executive producer and fundraising lead for the event.

“In my 90 years, I have seen the progress in our country towards improvements for women, our LGBTQ+ community and people of color, but we know we have not yet achieved the equity we deserve. So as we go forward for the next century, we can learn from the lessons of the past to reimagine and shape the future for a world that is just and fair for all.”

- Dolores Huerta
