State of New Mexico 
EXECUTIVE ORDER 2026-147 
ORDER LOWERING FLAGS TO HALF-STAFF IN MEMORIAL 
OF CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER AND ACTIVIST DOLORES HUERTA 
New Mexico-born labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta died on October 28, 
2026. Dolores Huerta worked tirelessly to advocate for farmworkers, immigrants, working 
families, women, and children. She devoted particular attention to advancing the rights of 
agricultural workers, including advocating to improve pay and working conditions through 
organizing strikes, protests, and boycotts. New Mexico lost a true leader, and she will be greatly 
missed. It is appropriate and proper to acknowledge Dolores Huerta's life and service through a 
public period of mourning across New Mexico. 
NOW THEREFORE, I, Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor of the State of New Mexico, 
by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the State of New Mexico, 
do hereby ORDER and DIRECT that all State flags be flown at half-staff beginning October 30, 
2026, and lasting through sundown of November 2, 2026. This action will serve to commemorate 
Dolores Huerta's life and to mourn her loss.
