Huerta is best known for co-founding the National Farm Workers Association. Dolores fought for workers rights and for fair wages, and her fight didn’t stop at farm workers. Huerta became a strong feminist figure as she fought for women’s rights alongside the fight for worker’s rights. She had an unwavering hope and strength that it would get better as the fight continued.

“Florida NOW (FL NOW) joins communities across Florida in mourning the domestic violence death of Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen, a visionary leader, environmental justice advocate, and the first Black woman elected to the Coral Springs City Commission,” said Julie Kent, President of FL NOW. “Her sudden loss, which is being investigated as a homicide, leaves a profound void in the fight for equity, sustainability, and community‑centered governance.”

John Oliver’s recent Last Week Tonight segment on police stings brought national attention to something many of us in Florida already know too well: these operations are often more about spectacle than safety. In the March 23 episode, Oliver specifically called out Sheriff Grady Judd’s highly publicized sting operations, arguing that police departments have become “addicted to stings” that manufacture crime while doing little to address the actual conditions that make people vulnerable in the first place.
