Huerta helped start the first major farm workers union and led famous grape boycotts in the 1960s. Her work led to the first laws that allowed farm workers to bargain for better pay and safer jobs.
The resolution also honors her for creating the famous slogan "Si Se Puede" and for her efforts to help more women get elected to office. She previously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work.
