📢🔥 Hands Off Our Healthcare!🔥📢 Yesterday, DHF joined Power CA Action, Communities for a New California, and Poder Latinx at the Tulare Town Hall, where 80+ voices came together to demand answers! 🚨 Every single person was asking: What happens if these budget cuts go through?❌ How will we afford college? What happens to our healthcare if Medicare is gone? We cannot let billionaires profit off our communities while stripping away our benefits. We need leaders who will fight for US!✊🏽💥 #HandsOffOurHealthcare #FundOurFutures #PeopleOverProfits #HealthcareForAll #DHF #SiSePuede!

About us
The Dolores Huerta Foundation is a 501 (c)3 organization on a mission to inspire and organize communities to build volunteer organizations empowered to pursue social justice. DHF organizes at the grassroots level developing natural leaders with hands-on training through collective action working to establish Vecinos Unidos (Neighbors United) chapters in some of the most disenfranchised regions of California. In it’s 15 years DHF has formed chapters in Lost Hills and Cutler-Orosi, with currently active Vecinos Unidos groups in Arvin, Lamont, Weedpatch, Greenfield, and Bakersfield (Kern County) Tulare, Lindsay, and Woodlake (Tulare County) and Caruthers, Sanger and Parlier (Fresno County). Our social justice grassroots organizing work is focused on Education, Health and Safety, LGBTQIA+, Equality and Civic Engagement.

DHF works to create healthy, accepting supportive environments for LGBTQIA+ youth and family members by building support networks and safer school climates. Through our integrative voter and Census outreach and education, DHF has been instrumental in passing progressive local and statewide legislation to increase funding for public services.

Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities are being unjustly targeted through executive orders that seek to dismantle critical DEI policies. Our communities have long been the backbone of the U.S. economy, enriching this nation with our labor, culture, and resilience. Yet, instead of recognition and respect, we are met with policies that undermine our rights and dignity. In response, the Latino Freeze Movement (LFM) and Target Fast have emerged as a powerful act of economic resistance against these injustices. Inspired by the legacy of past civil rights movements, we are leveraging our collective power to demand change. We join the call urging our communities to cease spending at Target and all corporations that have abandoned Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. This is a stand for justice, equity, and the recognition of our communities’ invaluable contributions. The Dolores Huerta Foundation stands in full solidarity with our national leaders in this critical moment. We are calling on YOU starting TODAY to take part in this movement. For 40 days we will withhold our economic power from corporations who refuse to respect and uplift communities of color in the United States. Now is the time to take action. Stand with us. Freeze your spending. Demand accountability. Together, we will show that our voices, our dollars, and our presence matter. ¡Sí se puede!✊🏽 Sign the petition: https://lnkd.in/gAv9_ZRi #StrikeForAll #BoycottTarget #LatinoFreezeMovement #LatinoFreze
