In 2019, the Dolores Huerta Foundation (DHF) launched a mission to establish the Dolores Huerta Peace and Justice Cultural Center within her lifetime. After initially securing $15 million from the California legislature, we recently obtained an additional $7 million due to rising costs, positioning us to break ground in 2024.
The multi-use campus in Downtown Bakersfield will not only serve as DHF’s headquarters but also revitalize the community, drawing tourists and supporting local businesses. The Peace and Justice Cultural Center will encompass a credit union, a multicultural community space, and an organizing institute, enabling DHF to train activists from across the nation in grassroots community organizing.
Our vision becomes a reality with the continued support of friends like you. With your donation, we can make this dream a reality today!
¡Si Se Puede!
The creation of the Dolores Huerta Peace and Justice Cultural Center will serve as a symbol of peace and positive change for generations to come. This historic investment in our community will help in the pursuit of justice, peace, cultural competency and lasting positive change for all Californian families.
We are excited about building a permanent home for DHF as well as other non-profit organizational activities. We will expand our programming and increase the number of people we serve.
