This Sunday, April 29th, 2pm at La Plaza de Cultura y Artes downtown there is a special birthday celebration in honor of Dolores Huerta. The spirited, iconic civil rights leader will be turning 82. I just checked the website and $50 tickets are sold out but the next tier is $200. If you got the cash, this is a pretty good cause and fiesta. All proceeds go to the Dolores Huerta Foundation which does a lot of education work and outreach to low-middle class immigrant workers, giving them the tools and resources to become leaders of their communities and continue to fight la lucha.

Lets go sing las Mañanitas a “SI SE PUEDE” Doña Dolores Huerta this Sunday!
